[2.0] Multiple checkboxes in a form via GET (Java)

[ccchr]

I've been searching for a long time, how do you handle multiple checkboxes in JAVA via GET?

The url looks similar to: http://localhost:9000/games?type=platform&type=role.

How do I access both "type" values in my controller?

Thank you!

My form looks like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="all-types">

<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="platform">
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="role">

...

and in my controller I've used

DynamicForm form = form().bindFromRequest();

System.out.println(form.field("type[]").value());

but it only prints the first item in the list i.e. "platform".

http://localhost:9000/games?type=platform&type=role

Any ideas of what am I doing wrong?

Thank you!

If I remember correctly, the naming you want to use was not supported in Play 2.0, you had to set indexes in your input names: <input name="type[0]" …

And once you set the indexes how would you access it in the controller?

You can bind it using a repeated mapping in your controller Form object.

Julien,

Thank you for the reply again... Would you happen to have an example? I am a little new to Play.

Thanks!

[Julien Richard-Foy]

If I remember correctly that's something like:

Form("type"->seq(text))

You may want to look at the documentation and the "forms" sample :)

Cheers

Any solution for this? I still have no idea how I can access the the checked boxes in my controller. And I really want this, it's driving me crazy ;)
