Html-servlet checkbox stack

I have this stack, and i am trying to find my mistake but i can't.
When i print the validcheck box the value is null no matter if I check it or if not .
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-sm-offset-2 col-sm-10">
<div class="checkbox">
<label><input type="checkbox" name="checkboxconfirm" >
<p style="color:Blue;">I agree to the terms and
conditions</p</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
boolean validcheckbox = request.getParameter("checkboxconfirm");
out.println("<b>checkbox: </b>" + validcheckbox + "<br>");

Thymeleaf loop and group by every n items

I'm using thymeleaf and I want to iterate a loop and group by every n items. Right now my code wants to group by every 4 items. After a search in most of the questions, this is my code:
<div th:each="items, iter: ${myList}" th:if="${iter.count} % 4 == 0" th:class="${iter.first}? 'nice-slider-slide active first' : 'nice-slider-slide'">
<div class="nice-slider-entry" th:each="item, iter: ${items}">
<span th:text="${item.getName}"></span>
</div>
</div>
The result is blank and it is printing nothing. But the result I want is:
<div class="nice-slider-slide active first">
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-slide">
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
<div class="nice-slider-entry">
<span>Name</span>
</div>
</div>

Why not move the logic of the grouping outside view layer? Thymeleaf is not so friendly with data computation.
Instead of a simple list to have a list of lists:
List<String> myList;
to be replaced by:
List<List<String>> myList;
Your thymeleaf code will be something like this:
<div th:each="subList,iter : ${myList}" th:class="${iter.first}? 'nice-slider-slide active first' : 'nice-slider-slide'">
<div class="nice-slider-entry" th:each="index: ${subList}">
<span th:text="${index}"></span>
</div>
</div>
UPDATE with pure Thymeleaf solution:
<th:block th:with="noEl = 4,totalSize = ${#lists.size(myList)} - 1">
<th:block th:each=" listIndex: ${#numbers.sequence(0, totalSize, noEl)}">
<div th:class="${listIndex eq 0 }? 'nice-slider-slide active first' : 'nice-slider-slide'"
th:with="maxValue = ${ totalSize lt (listIndex + noEl -1) ? totalSize : listIndex + noEl -1}">
<div class="nice-slider-entry" th:each="index : ${#numbers.sequence(listIndex, maxValue)}">
<span th:text="${myList[index]}"></span>
</div>
</div>
</th:block>
</th:block>

Find xpaths and extract text & status of checkbox/radio buttons in a loop

I have a page where I need to extract the text from an xpath and the status of the radio or checkbox that is associated with the text.
Each element is contained in a class called "c-form-group", so i have written a loop to iterate through to extract the "Text" the will be 4 elements found on the page. But it is failing on element 3 & 4, i must have something wrong with my xpath. I have yet to add in the check for the checkbox/radio button,
The first two elements are returning the values i require, then fails on element3.
Here are the 4 text elements i am trying to extract:
Plan B Warranty (Taxi) & Breakdown Recovery
Vehicle Asset Protection - Standard Cover
Negative Equity Cover

Here is the code for the loop.
WebElement elem = driver.findElement(By.className("c-form-group"));
System.out.println("a");
List<WebElement> elementz = elem.findElements(By.xpath("//label[contains(#class,'c-option')]"));
for(int i = 0 ; i< elementz.size() ; i++){
System.out.println("Loop : " + i);
String vapval1 = elementz.get(i).findElement(By.xpath("//label[#class='c-option c-option--right u-px u-py-sm u-clearfix ng-scope' and not(#class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-valid-required') and not (#class='c-option__radio')]")).getText();
System.out.println("0 = " + vapval1);
String vapval2 = elementz.get(i).findElement(By.xpath("//label[#class='c-option c-option--right u-px u-py-sm u-clearfix' and not(#class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-valid-required') and not (#class='c-option__radio')]")).getText();
System.out.println("1 = " + vapval2);
String vapval3 = elementz.get(i).findElement(By.xpath("//label[#class,'c-option c-option--right u-px u-py-sm u-clearfix ng-scope' and not(#class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid') and not (#class='c-option__checkbox')]")).getText();
System.out.println("3 = " + vapval3);
String vapval4 = elementz.get(i).findElement(By.xpath("//label[#class,'c-option c-option--right u-px u-py-sm u-clearfix' and not(#class='ng-pristine ng-untouched ng-valid ng-valid-required') and not (#class='c-option__checkbox')]")).getText();
System.out.println("4 = " + vapval4);
}

I'm a little confused as to what you are trying to do. You mention getting the text from the elements and also getting the state of the checkboxes. Your XPaths on the outer and inner loop overlap. Your elementz list is pulled from a LABEL that contains the c-option class but then you start with an element from elementz and the first part of your XPath you repeat the search for a LABEL that contains the c-option class.
There is an much easier way to do this. Each of these checkboxes/radiobuttons are INPUT tags and have a name specific to their value.
Plan B Warranty (Taxi) & Breakdown Recovery: <input ... name="warrantyPlan" type="radio">
Vehicle Asset Protection - Standard Cover: <input ... name="vapPlan" type="radio">
Negative Equity Cover: <input ... name="vapPlanEquity" type="checkbox" style="">
You confirm that you have received the VAP key facts leaflet?: <input ... name="vapCheck" type="checkbox">
So with that info, you can just get each INPUT with CSS selectors like
By.cssSelector("input[name='warrantyPlan']")
Once you have the INPUT element, you can check if it's selected using .isSelected().
If you really do need the text, you can get the label because it's the parent of the INPUT we just got. We can do this with an XPath, By.xpath(".."), which gets the parent of the current element.
We can put this all together like
// Plan B Warranty (Taxi) & Breakdown Recovery
WebElement e = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name='warrantyPlan']"));
System.out.println(e.isSelected()); // false
System.out.println(e.findElement(By.xpath("..")).getText()); // Plan B Warranty (Taxi) & Breakdown Recovery
// Vehicle Asset Protection - Standard Cover
e = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name='vapPlan']"));
System.out.println(e.isSelected()); // false
System.out.println(e.findElement(By.xpath("..")).getText()); // Vehicle Asset Protection - Standard Cover
I just did the first two. You can see the pattern and apply it for the last two.

Thymeleaf: How to retrieve elements from list or database without iterating?

I am trying to check if a field in the database is true or false using the SpEl "th:if="${certs.flag == 'TRUE'}" ". If it is set to "true" the form should not be displayed. I have searched all over but can not seem to find any article that has an example of what i need exactly. Everyone seems to be using iteration. But iteration is not applicable to what i am doing.
#RequestMapping(value = "/cert_prog", method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String examsList(Model model, CertificateProgramme certificateProgramme){
Iterable<Exams> exams = examService.findAll();
Iterable<School> schools = schoolService.findAll();

Iterable<Picture> pictures = pictureService.findAll();
CertificateProgramme mycert = certificateService.flagger(certificateProgramme);
model.addAttribute("mycert", mycert);
model.addAttribute("exams", exams);
if(!model.containsAttribute("newExam")){
model.addAttribute("newExam", new Exams());
}

Your question doesn't really make sense to me. If you want to check a single field from the database, then you can't pass a list of items. For example, in your html:
<div th:each="certs : ${certificateProgrammes}">
<form th:if="${certs.flag == 'TRUE'}">
.
.
.
</form>
</div>
It's going through the list of ${certificateProgrammes} and assigning it to ${certs} each time in the loop. If you don't want to loop, then instead of adding Iterable<CertificateProgramme> certificateProgrammes = certificateService.findAll(); to the model, just add a single object of type CertificateProgramme. Then you can do:
model.addAttribute("certs", /* however you get the specific one you want to check */);
and in the html
<!-- no iterating required, because you know which object you're talking about -->
<form th:if="${certs.flag == 'TRUE'}">

Cannot extract text from Element Jsoup

Why can I not get the text from this element?
Elements el = doc.select("#Core_UI_AutogeneratedID_0 > fieldset:nth-child(1) > p:nth-child(23)");
for (Element e : el) {
System.out.println(e.text());
}
I am connecting to the website fine, it's this line that's the issue
Elements el = doc.select("#Core_UI_AutogeneratedID_0 > fieldset:nth-child(1) > p:nth-child(23)");
How would I print an Element?
