Displaying a Check Box Using the selectBooleanCheckbox Tag

The UISelectBoolean class defines components that have a boolean value. The selectBooleanCheckbox tag is the only tag that JavaServer Faces technology provides for representing boolean state. The Duke’s Bookstore application includes a selectBooleanCheckbox tag on the bookcashier.jsp page:

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox
     id="fanClub"
    rendered="false"
    binding="#{cashier.specialOffer}" />
<h:outputLabel
     for="fanClub"
    rendered="false"
    binding="#{cashier.specialOfferText}">
     <h:outputText
         id="fanClubLabel"
        value="#{bundle.DukeFanClub}" />
</h:outputLabel>

This example tag displays a check box to allow users to indicate whether they want to join the Duke Fan Club. The label for the check box is rendered by the outputLabel tag. The actual text is represented by the nested outputText tag. Binding a Component Instance to a Bean Property discusses this example in more detail.
