Play Framework 2.0 multiple checkboxes in JAVA via GET

Question

How do you handle multiple checkboxes in Play Framework 2.0 JAVA via GET?

The url looks similar to: http://localhost:9000/games?type=platform&type=role. How can I get both "type" values in a "Set" variable in my controller?

My form looks like this:

<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="all-types">
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="platform">
<input type="checkbox" name="type[]" class="" value="role">

Thank you!

Have a look at http://www.playframework.org/documentation/2.0/ScalaForms , section "Repeated Values":

1) Name the fields type[0], type[1], ....

2) You'll then have in the controller a List[String], out of which you have to look for the checked values.

Thanks Samuel! But that would require the whole controller to be written in Scala instead of Java?

As far as I could determine in playframework.org/documentation/2.0/JavaForms, the same in Java should work too.
