                                                java.lang.String paramName)

This method returns the request value of a checkbox item. Since unselected checkboxes are not submitted with the request, we usually include a second hidden form element for each check box with its value set to the negative state. Therefore, when a checkbox is selected, there will be two request parameters for the checkbox's parameter name. One "true", and one "false". If there is a "true" value, then the checkbox's state is selected, and the "false" state is ignored. However, if the checkbox is not selected, then there will only be one request parameter for the checkbox, and that is the false state.

Parameters:

request - the request object

paramName - the checkbox's parameter name

Returns:

"true" of "false" indicating the checkbox's selections state
