java: How to put checkboxes in DisplayTag using Struts multibox

<display:table name="sessionScope.myFormBean.mySearchResultArrayList" id="myRecord">
  <display:column title="Select">
     <html:multibox property="selectedItems"
             value='<%= (String)((com.abc.def.MyClass)myRecord).getAbc().toString() %>' />
  </display:column>
</display:table>

Note:

myFormBean is the name of your Form Bean (i.e. MyFormBean.java)

mySearchResultArrayList is a collection getter in your MyFormBeanName.java. It will hold a collection of your MyClass.java

MyClass will represent each row in your DisplayTag (i.e. MyClass.java). Your mySearchResultArrayList will contain many MyClass.java

myRecord represents the reference to the MyClass object.

selectedItems is a String array property in your MyFormBeanName.java with a getter/setter. It will hold the values of the selected checkboxes. It will also be the name of the checkbox group in html.


MyClass.java

public class MyClass
{
  private String abc;

  public void setAbc(String abc)
  {
     this.abc = abc;
  }

  private String getAbc( )
  { 
     return abc;
  }
}

MyFormBean.java

public class MyFormBean
{
  private String[ ] selectedItems; 
  private List mySearchResultArrayList;

   public void setMySearchResultArrayList(List list)
  {
      mySearchResultArrayList = list;
      String[] selectedItems = (String[]) mySearchResultArrayList.toArray(new String[0]);
   }

  public List getMySearchResultArrayList( )
  {
     return mySearchResultArrayList;
   }

   public String[ } getSelectedItems( )
  {
     return selectedItems;
   }

  public void setSelectedItems(String[ ] selectedItems)
  {
     this.selectedItems = selectedItems; 
  }
}
