Urgent help reqd : DynaValidatorForm with html:multibox

Question

Hi,
I've an urgent issue. I'm using a DynaValidatorForm to retreive data from struts <html:multibox> . But when the checkboxes are disabled, even if the boxes are checked, the form fails to retreive the data in the action page. But if I make it enable, it works. Just wondering,if DynaValidatorForm doesn't support disabled checkboxes.
Also, I tried using hidden parameters instead, but I can't find a way to track the values for which the checke boxes are checked.
Here's the code I'm using in jsp :
<logic:notEmpty name="promotionComponentsList">
<bean:define id="promotionComponentsList" name="promotionComponentsList"/>
<logic:iterate id="option" name="promotionComponentsList" indexId="pIdx" type="com.jun.esales.epromo.model.referencedata.Option">
<%if((pIdx.intValue()%2)==0){%>
<td><html:multibox property="promotionComponent" disabled="<%=!isCreatorEditable%>" onclick="javascript:chgPromotionComponents(this);" value="<%=option.getCode()%>"/>     <bean:write property="name" name="option"/><br>
<%} else {%>
                                   <html:multibox property="promotionComponent" disabled="<%=!isCreatorEditable%>" onclick="javascript:chgPromotionComponents(this);" value="<%=option.getCode()%>"/>     <bean:write property="name" name="option"/></td>
                                   <%}%>
                                   </logic:iterate>
                         </logic:notEmpty>
Any pointer on this will be highly appreciated as I'm stuck in this for a while now.
Thanks,

Answer 1

If a checkbox (or any html form component for that matter) is disabled, it won't submit a value.
This is a feature of html - NOT of struts. Struts can't do anything to change this functionality.
Maybe you could include a hidden field for the value "isCreatorEditable" and only run the validation IF the editable flag is there.
Good luck,
