how to disable spring form checkbox?

jsp, spring

Solution

`disabled` attribute in `<spring:checkbox>` should be either set to `true` or `false` and checkbox don't have `readonly` attribute. So

<form:checkbox path="corespondingPath" disabled = "true">

should work.

Few link Spring doc link. Readonly and Disabled property in Spring form input

You can use JSTL to add it depending on some condition

<c:choose>
    <c:when test="${condition}">
          // Add checkbox with disabled="true"
          <form:checkbox path="desiredPAth" disabled="true" />
    </c:when>
    <c:otherwise>
          // Do something else
    </c:otherwise>
</c:choose>

Problem

In my jsp, for certain conditions I want the checkbox to be present but do not want to allow the user to check it or uncheck it. I am not sure how I can achieve this. I tried the following ``` <form:checkbox path="..." disabled = "disabled"> <form:checkbox path="..." disabled = "true"> <form:checkbox path="..." readonly = "readonly"> ``` Nothing seem to work. Can someone throw some light on this? Thanks..
