Using multiple booleans as value for selectManyCheckbox

I have a number of Booleans that I want to group together by using a h:selectManyCheckbox. I don't want the value to be an ArrayList or Array, just my XX Boolean fields. Is there anyway开发者_运维知识库 this can be accomplished?

No, you can't. Just use <h:selectBooleanCheckbox> for each.

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bean.boolean1}" />
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bean.boolean2}" />
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{bean.boolean3}" />
...

I know the question is old, but in case someone (like I was) still looking for the answer

Using Java 8:

<h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{bean.checks}">
  <f:selectItem itemValue="value1" itemLabel="Label 1" />
  <f:selectItem itemValue="value2" itemLabel="Label 2" />
  <f:selectItem itemValue="value3" itemLabel="Label 3" />  
</h:selectManyCheckbox>

Bean:

private List<String> checks;
private Map<String, Runnable> checksMap;

private void initMap() {
  checksMap = new HashMap<>();
  checksMap.put("value1",   () -> myentity.setBoolean1(true));
  checksMap.put("value2",   () -> myentity.setBoolean2(true));
  checksMap.put("valueN",   () -> myentity.setBooleanN(true));
}

When you save your entity, just iterate over the choosen checks, and set your booleans according to checksMap:

checks.stream().forEach( (e) -> checksMap.get(e).run() );
