Thread: Using an If statement to check boxes

I have a servlet that is basically a shopping cart. You select some items, POST is called and it totals them up and gives the total of selected items. When the back button is clicked (which really just reloads the servlet via GET) I want it to remember what was checked. I have created a map of checked items, but can't figure out how to get it to read if there is data in the getName field. The if statement I'm trying is giving an illegal start of expression error.
