correct me if i'm wrong anyone but if your checkbox was checked when the form was submitted, it will appear in the request as a name/value pair.
if it wasn't checked, it won't appear at all.

Adam, you are correct. Muthukumaran, if you use getParameter(yourCheckBoxName), and null is returned it means that checkbox was not checked. Else, the checkbox is checked, and it should return the corresponding value for that checkboxname.

Ad I posted earlier, In your request.getParameter(yourCheckBoxName) if it returns null, it means it's not clicked. Else, it's clicked. Store your values baased on this. Am I missing something here???
