How to have checkbox value blank instead of "null"

[vanan saravanan]

I have a couple of checkbox in my jsp page. Those which are ticked pass their values correctly to the database. Those that are unticked pass a "null" value to the database. I dont want a "null" value but just an empty field. How do i do that.

This is my code

String checkbox1 = request.getParameter("Checkbox1");

What difference would that make in the logic, Vanan? Either way, you know that the checkbox value is unchecked.

And this post is in the wrong forum!

Vanan,
Just add the logic yourself:

String checkbox1 = request.getParameter("Checkbox1");
if ( checkbox == null) {
  checkbox = "";
}
