passing parameters from VF to controller

can somebody give me an example for passing boolean value from jquery in a visual force page to controller using param and action function.I'm getting this error after executing the following code...

Error: conversionTrialController Compile Error: Illegal assignment from String to Boolean at line 393 column 9

<apex:includeScript value="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js"/>

 

 <script type="text/javascript">

        var j$ = jQuery.noConflict();       

        j$(document).ready(function(){

   }); 

 

 

function orgChkBoxesSelected()

        {

var orgName=j$('#chk_org_name').is(":checked");

alert(orgName);

var orgAddr=j$('#chk_org_addr').is(":checked");

         

          getorgCheckedBox(orgName,orgAddr)       

        } 

         

 

 

 

<apex:actionFunction name="getorgCheckedBox" action="{!getCheckedOrgBoxes}" reRender="orgBlock">

 <Apex:param name="orgNames" value=""/>

 <Apex:param name="orgAddrs" value="" />

<Apex:actionFunction/>

 

 

 

public void getCheckedOrgBoxes()

 {

Boolean org_Name=Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgNames');----------->>>>line 393 column 9

Boolean org_Addr=Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get(‘orgAddrs’);

 

organization=leadUtility.getorganization(org_Name,org_Addr);

     return NULL;

You could check if the String returns 'True' or 'False', then assign corresponsing value to Boolean variable.

Like done below:

 

public void getCheckedOrgBoxes()
{
	String OrgName = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgNames');
	String OrgAddr = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgAddrs');
	
	Boolean org_Name;
	if( OrgName == 'True') {
		org_Name = True;
	}
	else {
		org_Name = False;
	}

	Boolean org_Addr;
	if( orgAddr == 'True') {
		org_Addr = True;
	}
	else {
		org_Addr = False;
	}
}

  Or other way would be:

public void getCheckedOrgBoxes()
{
	String OrgName = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgNames');
	String OrgAddr = Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgAddrs');
	
	Boolean org_Name = False;
	if( OrgName == 'True') {
		org_Name = True;
	}

	Boolean org_Addr = False;
	if( orgAddr == 'True') {
		org_Addr = True;
	}
}

Use a string variable to collect the param's as their datatype is String.

 

Try modifying your code as below:

String org_Name=Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgNames');
String org_Addr=Apexpages.currentPage().getParameters().get('orgAddrs');

Thank you,But Can't I get boolean values back??as you see i'm passing them in the method getOrganization.(org_name,org_addr);.I need to pass it as boolean in that method.
