I am quite new to Seam, and I have tried googling for this, but found only JSF related stuff.

I have another post on this, but since this is a new problem I guess I can post it here.

I am trying to retrieve the values the users chooses from a selectManyCheckbox. The problem is that the List always has the same elements inside. Even if I uncheck all the boxes and submit the form it still is the same list with all the elements.

Hope to get some clarification.

This is my xhtml code:

<h:form id="searchCriteria" styleClass="edit">

                    <s:decorate template="../layout/display.xhtml">
                         <label>Søk på Person</label>
                         <h:inputText id="searchStringPerson" value="#{searchRegisterManager.searchStringPerson}" />
                         <br/>
                         <label>Søk på Kommune</label>
                         <h:inputText id="searchStringKommune" value="#{searchRegisterManager.searchStringKommune}" />
                         <br/>
                         <br/>
                         <label>Inneholder prøvetyper:</label>
                         <h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{provetypeSokSelectedList}" border="1">
                              <s:selectItems value="#{proevetypeSokList}" var="proevetype" label="#{proevetype.beskrivelse}"/>
                         </h:selectManyCheckbox>
                         
                       <br/>
                         <h:commandButton id="findProever" value="Finn Prøver" action="#{searchRegisterManager.find}"/>
                    </s:decorate>
               </h:form>

This is my Action class:
