title: Convert Spring checkboxes to Spring submit buttons
body: <p>Below Spring form submits data to a Spring controller and works as expected.
  How can I convert the checkboxes to buttons ? So instead of three checkboxes : 'isTest1,isTest3,isTest3' three buttons are displayed.
  This then means instead of having one submit button I have three submit buttons with each button.</p>
  
  <p>Here is my form currently : </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;form:form method="post" modelAttribute="searchobj" action="redirect"&gt;
  
  
      &lt;table&gt;
  
       &lt;tr&gt;
          &lt;td&gt;&lt;form:input path="param" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;  
          &lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="Search"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
      &lt;/table&gt;
  
  &lt;table&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;isTest1&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;&lt;form:checkbox path="isTest1" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  
      &lt;td&gt;isTest2&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;&lt;form:checkbox path="isTest2" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  
  
      &lt;td&gt;isTest3&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;td&gt;&lt;form:checkbox path="isTest3" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
      &lt;/tr&gt;
  
  &lt;/table&gt;  
  
   &lt;/center&gt;
  
  &lt;/form:form&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried linking the form directly to the submit button so instead of     </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt;&lt;form:checkbox path="isTest1" /&gt;&lt;/td&gt; 
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>use</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;td&gt;&lt;input type="submit" value="isTest1"/&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but I dont how to access the value in the controller ?</p>
