JSP - Checkbox remain checked although checked values should depend on values stored in a stateful session bean

I'm trying to implement like a small shopping cart system where there is a variety of items to choose from. There are 3 JSP pages, shop1.jsp , shop2.jsp and shop3.jsp where each of these pages have different items to choose from. And there is another page final.jsp which displays all of the items selected. The selection of items is made using checkboxes.

The flow of pages goes like this : shop1.jsp -> shop2.jsp -> shop3.jsp -> final.jsp and there is also a hyperlink on each page (excluding shop1.jsp) which allows user to go back to the previous page as well.

If an item was previously selected by the client, the suitable check box should be checked and vice versa. I need to make use of a stateful session bean to store the items selected by the client.

NOTE:

  • I remove all possible items that is supposed to be on each page(shop1, shop2 and shop3) if the arraylist contains them of course before making a fresh new add, since adding is appending to the arraylist, it will contain other previous items added if they are not removed.

  • I submit the page on itself which would cause a redirect afterward using the response.sendRedirect() method.

Here are the codes(the jsp codes are too long, so I uploaded them in my dropbox, I provided the links below) and after that, the issue I'm having:

Stateful session bean CartBean

    private ArrayList <String> cart = new ArrayList<String>();

    public CartBean() {}

    public void addItem(String item){
        cart.add(item);
    }

    public void removeItem(String item)
    {
         cart.remove(item);
    }

    public Collection <String> getItems()
    {
        return cart;
    }
}

Here an example of the issue I'm having since I find it hard to explain in general for all:

Lets say I am on shop1.jsp , I select "ITEM 3" only and submit.

Now I am on shop2.jsp, I click on the hyperlink to go "back to shop 1".

I find the checkbox "ITEM 3" checked, this is alrite since i previously selected it and the item value is stored in the Stateful bean arraylist.

Now on shop1.jsp, I uncheck that checkbox "ITEM 3" and submit.

I'm now on shop2.jsp and I go back to shop1.jsp again using the hyperlink.

I find the checkbox "ITEM 3" still checked while it should not have been.

Can anyone help find what is wrong?
