Displaying a Check Box Using the h:selectBooleanCheckbox Tag

The SelectBoolean component defines tags that have a boolean value. The h:selectBooleanCheckbox tag is the only tag that JavaServer Faces technology provides for representing boolean state.

Here is an example that shows how to use the selectBooleanCheckbox tag:

<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.
