spring <form:checkboxes> tag and css class

java, jsp, spring-mvc

Solution

You can try this:

<c:forEach var="item" items="${roleSelections}">
    <span class="checkbox"><form:checkbox path="roles" value="${item}"></span>
</c:forEach>

Problem

I have issue with: ``` <form:checkboxes path="roles" cssClass="checkbox" items="${roleSelections}" /> ``` If previous line is used in jsp, then generated html looks like: ``` <span><input id="roles1" name="roles" class="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="ROLE_NEWUSER"/><label for="roles1">ROLE_NEWUSER</label></span> <span><input id="roles2" name="roles" class="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="ROLE_USER" checked="checked"/><label for="roles2">ROLE_USER</label></span> <span><input id="roles3" name="roles" class="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="ROLE_EDITOR"/><label for="roles3">ROLE_EDITOR</label></span> <span><input id="roles4" name="roles" class="checkbox" type="checkbox" value="ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR"/><label for="roles4">ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR</label></span> ``` Please notice that css class is added to input tag. Instead css class is added to input tag I need this class to be added to span tag. Is there any solution to my problem, other then using `< c:forEach >` tag Thanks in advance. Sorry if question is duplicate. If so, please point me to original question. Cheers, Tihomir P.S.: I'm using spring 3.1.0.RELEASE.
