<apex:inputCheckbox > value is not getting passed from page to controller

Always the value of acceptTerms is showing as false even the check box is checked in the page.

Please help me out to solve this.

vf Page:

<apex:inputCheckbox value="{!acceptTerms}"/>

controller:

public  class controller {

Public boolean accepTerms;

Public controller(){
accepTerms=false;

}

if(!acceptTerms)
apex.addmessage('   ' );

}

Hi Ezhil,

In the constructor you are initialised the variable with false.

As we all know at first constructor will get excuted first. So value 'false' is assigned. 

pls change the controller code like this.

public  class controller {

Public boolean accepTerms{get;set;}

Public controller(){

}

if(!acceptTerms)
{
apex.addmessage(' ----value---False----  ' );
}
else
{
apex.addmessage(' ----value---True----  ' );
}

please select this as solution if you got your answer.

Thanks.

Hi Ezhil, as you have not mentioned the get set properites and have assigned the value as false in the controller the accepterms is always getting overriden by false. To fix this create a get set property in the controller and check the value of the input checkbox dynamically

Something as

public boolean accepTerms{get; set;}

if(acceptTerms){
//do something
}

If i am not intializing the value,getting error as shown below:

Attempt to de-reference a null object

Even after putting {  get;set;} its not working out.

Hi Ezhil,

You should initialise the variable with get;set; property. But in outside the constructor.

So you will not get the error.

In the above code which I wrote,

public  class controller {

Public boolean accepTerms{get;set;}   // Here i am intializing

Public controller(){

}

if(!acceptTerms)
{
apex.addmessage(' ----value---False----  ' );
}
else
{
apex.addmessage(' ----value---True----  ' );
}

If you checked the checkbox then the output value will be ----value---True----


Thanks,

Praveeen Murugesan.

Hi Ezhil,

Found the issue

Change the code like this,

public  class controller {

Public boolean accepTerms{get;set;}   // Here i am intializing

Public controller(){

  if(accepTerms == true)  //we should not do like this if(!acceptTerms)
    {
        ApexPages.Message myMsg = new  ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'----value---False----');
        ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
    }
    else
    {
       ApexPages.Message myMsg = new  ApexPages.Message(ApexPages.Severity.ERROR,'----value---True----');
       ApexPages.addMessage(myMsg);
    }

}

}

please select this as solution if you got your answer.

Thanks.

No Praveen, We have controllers same like wat i did :  if(!acceptTerms)

This statement is working in those.

 

The thing is its not passing the value from page.

remove acceptTerms from constructor and initialize it where it is declared.
