My jsp page to get the values is

 <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
 <%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="s" %>

 <table class="profiletable" align="center">
<tr>
    <td align="center"><h2>Upload User Profile</h2></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td align="center"><s:form action="upload" method="post">
<s:textfield name="fname" label="First Name"></s:textfield>
<s:textfield name="lname" label="Last Name"></s:textfield>
<s:radio name="mstatus" label="Martial Status" list="{'Single','Married'}"></s:radio>
<s:radio name="gender" label="Gender" list="{'male','female'}"></s:radio>
<s:select list="{'India','USA','UK','Germany','France','Australia'}" label="Country" name="country"></s:select>
 <s:checkboxlist label="Letter you want to subscribe" name="subscribe" list="subscription" />
  <s:submit value="upload profile" align="center"></s:submit>
</s:form></td>
</tr>
 </table>

my jsp page to show the values is

<%@ taglib uri="/struts-tags" prefix="p" %>
<h2>Profile uploaded sucessfully</h2>
 First Name:<p:property value="fname"/><br/>
Last Name:<p:property value="lname"/><br/>
Martial status:<p:property value="mstatus"/><br/>
Gender:<p:property value="gender"/><br/>
Country:<p:property value="country"/><br/>
Letters Subscribed:<p:property value="subscribe"/>/>

my action file is

package com.javapoint;

import java.util.ArrayList;
 import java.util.List;

import com.opensymphony.xwork2.ActionSupport;



 public class UploadProfile extends ActionSupport {

/**
 *

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private String fname;
private String lname;
private String mstatus;
private String gender;
private String country;
private String subscribe;
private List<String> subscription;

public String getFname() {
    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    return fname;
}
public void setFname(String fname) {
    System.out.println("inside getfname");
    System.out.println("the firstname set is "+fname);
    this.fname = fname;
}
public String getLname() {

    return lname;
}
public void setLname(String lname) {
    this.lname = lname;
    System.out.println("the lastname set is "+ lname);
}
public String getMstatus() {
    return mstatus;
}
public void setMstatus(String mstatus) {
    this.mstatus = mstatus;
}
public String getGender() {
    return gender;
}
public void setGender(String gender) {
    this.gender = gender;
}
public String getCountry() {
    return country;
}
public void setCountry(String country) {
    this.country = country;
}

public String getSubscribe() {
    return subscribe;
}
public void setSubscribe(String subscribe) {
    this.subscribe = subscribe;
}
public List<String> getSubscription() {
    return subscription;
}
public void setSubscription(List<String> subscription) {
    this.subscription = subscription;
}
public UploadProfile(){
    subscription=new ArrayList<String>();
    subscription.add("Politics");
    subscription.add("Sports");
    subscription.add("Editorial");
    subscription.add("Gadgets");
    subscription.add("Overdrive");
}
public String execute()throws Exception{
    System.out.println("inside execute");
    if(fname!=null){
    return "profileuploaded";
    }else{
        return "error";

    }
}

public String display(){

    return NONE;
}


}

My struts.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts PUBLIC "-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts

<result name="profileuploaded">ProfileUploaded.jsp</result>
 <result name="error">index.jsp</result>
</action>
</package>
  </struts>    

and my web.xml file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<web-app>

Answer 1

1. struts.xml:

<action name="subscription_listing" method="UploadProfile" class="com.javapoint.UploadProfile" > <result name="none">/your_jsppage_where_you_have_checkboxlist</result> </action>

2.in Uploadprofile Action class modified Uploadprofile method:

public String UploadProfile(){
subscription=new ArrayList<String>();
subscription.add("Politics");
subscription.add("Sports");
subscription.add("Editorial");
subscription.add("Gadgets");
subscription.add("Overdrive");
return NONE;

}

[3]. Now Directly call subscription_listing action.

Do you got it?
