This is actually the HTML form behavior question. When you check a few checkboxes with one "name" attribute and different "value" attributes and press submit button, your browser will send request to the server with checked checkbox values. So you can get value names from this url parameters.

For example:

I have a bike

I have a car 

If you check both of checkboxes your server will receive this parameters like so:

http://example.com/your_page.jsp?vehicle=Bike&vehicle=Car 

After that you can get values like this:

String checkboxValues = request.getParameter("vehicle");

checkboxValues gets all values separated by comma.
