Hi this may help you for selecting single check box
<h:outputText value="Enabled : "/>
                          <h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{Bean.isEnabled}"/>                    
                          <h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{Bean.submit}"/>
private Boolean isEnabled;
    public Boolean getIsEnabled() {
        return isEnabled;
    public void setIsEnabled(Boolean isEnabled) {
        this.isEnabled = isEnabled;
    public String submit(){
     System.out.println(isEnabled);
        return isEnabled;
    }for selecting multiple check box
                          <h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{Bean.items}">
                              <f:selectItem itemLabel="one" itemValue="one" />
                              <f:selectItem itemLabel="two" itemValue="two" />
                              <f:selectItem itemLabel="three" itemValue="three" />
                           </h:selectManyCheckbox>
               <h:commandButton value="Submit" action="#{Bean.submit}"/>
private List<String> items;
    public List<String> getItems() {
        return items;
    public void setItems(List<String> items) {
