Using <spring:bind> with radio buttons

[ejbengine]

Hi , I'm fairly new to Spring MVC .I'd like to bind 3 radio buttons in my jsp to some boolean values .Here's what I have and tried :

My Command class
==============

public class MyCommand extends BaseCommand {


	private MyVO filter;


	public MyVO getFilter() {
		return filter;
	}

	public void setFilter(MyVO filter) {
		this.filter = filter;
	}

}

My VO class
=========

public class MyVO implements ValueObject {

	private boolean createdBy = false;
	
	private boolean createdFor = false;
	
	private boolean participantOn = true;


	public boolean getCreatedBy() {
		return createdBy;
	}

	public void setCreatedBy(boolean createdBy) {
		this.createdBy = createdBy;
	}

	public boolean getCreatedFor() {
		return createdFor;
	}

	public void setCreatedFor(boolean createdFor) {
		this.createdFor = createdFor;
	}

	public boolean getParticipantOn() {
		return participantOn;
	}

	public void setParticipantOn(boolean participantOn) {
		this.participantOn = participantOn;
	}

}

and then in jsp i have the following :
============================

<spring:bind path="myCommand.filter">
		       <input type="radio" name="radios"  value="${status.value}" />
		       Created by
		       <br>
		       <input type="radio" name="radios" value="${status.value}"/>
		       Created for
		      <br>
		      <input type="radio" name="radios" value="${status.value}"/>
		      Participant on
</spring:bind>

How do I correctly wire the radio buttons to map to the boolean variables in my VO class , MyVO , i.e

private boolean createdBy = false;
	
private boolean createdFor = false;
	
private boolean participantOn = true;

Thank you

I think you shoud use checkbox instead of radio button. because you have 3 boolean values and if you use radio button you can only bind one field..

also why dont you use the MyVO class as your command class?

[rukshan]

lets say you used your MyCommand as the command object. then if you want to get values for your 3 boolean variables you might have to do like following.

<spring:nestedPath path="myCommand">
<spring:nestedPath path="filter">


<spring:bind path="createdBy">
<input type="checkbox" name="${status.expression}"  <c:if test="${status.value}" > checked</c:if> />
Created by
</spring:bind>

<br>

<spring:bind path="createdFor">
<input type="checkbox" name="${status.expression}"  <c:if test="${status.value}" > checked</c:if> />
Created for
</spring:bind>

<br>

<spring:bind path="participantOn">
<input type="checkbox" name="${status.expression}"  <c:if test="${status.value}" > checked</c:if> />
Participant on
</spring:bind>
</spring:nestedPath>
</spring:nestedPath>
