The multibox is a tag to output multiple linked checkboxes, so the user can select multiple items at once. The radio is the same idea, but for a single select.
My jsp piece looks like this, and it generates a table with a radio button as the first field:
<c:forEach var="data" items="${MyForm.dataList}">
<tr>
<td><html:radio property="selectedData" value="${data.id}"/></td>
<td><c:out value="${data.name}"/></td>
<td><c:out value="${data.location}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
Now, you can change it to a multiselect version using the multibox by replacing the html:radio tag with this one:
<html:multibox property="selectedData" value="${data.id}"/>
In my MyForm, I have a
public List getDataList()
and a public String getSelectedData()
for the single select with the radio button. For the multiselect with the multibox you have to use public String[] getSelectedData()
instead. (of course, both need the corresponding setSelectedData() method...)[edited to remove confusing custom rowColor tag, 2/20/2006]

Its a neat help. But put also java components to make it more easy to comprehend.
can i use this if i want to I want to maintian a hidden fields for all checked values for the multibox. Because when I come back from the other jsp pages, checked vauels of html:multibox are getting disappear.
macpherson - Sounds like you haven't implemented the getDataList correctly...
