multi check boxes in jsp

[Bart Wilson]

I need help getting started. I'm new at this.
I have a group of check boxes a user can select one or more protective devices listed (burglar alarm, deadbolt locks, etc.)
They all have the same name but different values.
The function to get their value is:
protectiveDevice.isDevice(int)
this returns a boolean true
How do I script to determine which check boxes where checked?
I have something so far but not sure if correct
value = "<%=protectiveDevice.isDevice(1) == true ? protectiveDevice.isDevice : false%>"
value = "<%=protectiveDevice.isDevice(2) == true ?
protectiveDevice.isDevice : false%>"
Thanks

Just conver this to script. Since only checked checkboxes will be sent to the server, this should work.
String [] checkedBoxes = request.getParameterValues("nameOfYourCheckBox");
for(int i = 0; i< checkedBoxes.length; i++)
do whatever....
