how to get multiple checkbox value in struts 2 using checkbox list

Question 1

struts.xml:

<action name="subscription_listing" method="UploadProfile" class="com.javapoint.UploadProfile" > <result name="none">/your_jsppage_where_you_have_checkboxlist</result> </action>

2.in Uploadprofile Action class modified Uploadprofile method:

public String UploadProfile(){
subscription=new ArrayList<String>();
subscription.add("Politics");
subscription.add("Sports");
subscription.add("Editorial");
subscription.add("Gadgets");
subscription.add("Overdrive");
return NONE;

}

[3]. Now Directly call subscription_listing action.

Do you got it?

Question 2

As you are new to Struts2 hopefully this example will help you working with multiple checkbox in struts2

Question 3

After surfing and implementing the above sugesstion ,I have come to solution that call the action file directly in case of chekbox,although there can be alternates but as of now i am unaware of it.

the problem is with my struts.xml it should be

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts
 Configuration 2.1//EN" "http://struts.apache.org/dtds/struts-2.1.dtd">
 <struts>
 <package name="default" extends="struts-default">

 <action name="upload" class="com.javapoint.UploadProfile">
 <result name="profileuploaded">ProfileUploaded.jsp</result>
  <result name="error">index.jsp</result>


 </action>
<action name="UploadProfile" class="com.javapoint.UploadProfile" method="display">
    <result name="none">/step1.jsp</result>
   </action>

</package>
</struts>

and the final action file is

package com.javapoint;

import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.List;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;

public class UploadProfile extends ActionSupport {

/**
 * 
 */
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String fname;
private String lname;
private String mstatus;
private String gender;
private String country;
private String[] defaultsubscription;
private String[] yoursubscription;
private List<String> subscription;

public String getFname() {
    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    return fname;
}
public void setFname(String fname) {
    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    System.out.println("the firstname set is "+fname);
    this.fname = fname;
}
public String getLname() {

    return lname;
}
public void setLname(String lname) {
    this.lname = lname;
    System.out.println("the lastname set is "+ lname);
}
public String getMstatus() {
    return mstatus;
}
public void setMstatus(String mstatus) {
    this.mstatus = mstatus;
}
public String getGender() {
    return gender;
}
public void setGender(String gender) {
    this.gender = gender;
}
public String getCountry() {
    return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
    this.country = country;
System.out.println(country);
}

public String[] getYoursubscription() {
    return yoursubscription;
}
public void setYoursubscription(String[] yoursubscription) {
    this.yoursubscription = yoursubscription;
}


public UploadProfile(){
    System.out.println("inside constructor");
    subscription=new ArrayList<String>();
    subscription.add("Politics");
    subscription.add("Sports");
    subscription.add("Editorial");
    subscription.add("Gadgets");
    subscription.add("Overdrive");
    }

public String[] getDefaultSubscription(){
    return new String [] {"Politics", "Sports"};
}
public List<String> getSubscription() {
    return subscription;
}
public void setSubscription(List<String> subscription) {
    this.subscription = subscription;
}


public String execute()throws Exception{
    System.out.println("inside execute");
    System.out.println(yoursubscription.toString()+"   "+subscription+"    "+defaultsubscription);
    if(fname!=null){
    return "profileuploaded";
    }else{
        return "error";

    }
}
public String display() {
    return NONE;
}
