This is exactly what I needed. I was avoiding checkboxlist because I
wanted the options to be displayed vertically, but it looks to be the
only option unless I add more code to determine if a checkbox was
selected.

Thank you, everyone, for your help!!!

Hi,

I have done it like this.

// code in my action

  private String[] skill;

  public String[] getSkill() {
    return skill;
  }

  public void setSkill(String[] skill) {
    this.skill = skill;
  }

  public void prepare() throws Exception {
    skills = new ArrayList();
    skills.add("Java");
    skills.add("C#");
    skills.add("Spring");
    skills.add("Struts 2");

    skill = new String [2];

    skill[0] = "Java";
    skill[1] = "Spring";
  }
//jsp

<s:checkboxlist name="skill" list="skills"/>

Java and Spring check boxes will be selected.

Thanks,

Nuwan
