SelectItem does not rendered correctly within RichFaces' too

[tonylmai]

Hello,

I have a downdrop listbox within a toolbar declared as followed:

<rich:toolBarGroup itemSeparator="#{tbBean.groupItemSeparator}" location="right">
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{beanMgr.type}" >
 <s:selectItems value="#{enumTranslator.aList}" var="aType" label="#{aType.label}"></s:selectItems>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
</rich:toolBarGroup>

where type is declared as:

public enum AType implements Serializable {
 TYPE_A("Type A")
 , TYPE_B ("Type B");

 private String label;
 AType(String label) {
 this.label = label;
 }
 public String getLabel() {
 return label;
 }
 public void setLabel(String label) {
 this.label = label;
 }
}

I use this code in many pages and they work very well. However, when used inside a RichFaces' Toolbar, the select list did not render the labels at all. I could see that the size of the select box was rendered with the correct count of items in the list and I could select the "empty" item in the list and the item would be propagated to the bean correctly.

The only thing wrong is the label not being rendered.

Is this a bug in ToolBar?

Thanks

Can anyone confirm if this is a bug within RichFaces? If it is, can you recommend a work around?

Did you try plain selectOneMenu (without s:selectItems)? What was rendered as the result of ether case?

[tonylmai]

I need to iterate through an array so I used s:selectItems.

I removed that and use:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{wcMgr.type}" >
 <ui:repeat value="#{typeList}" var="t" >
 <f:selectItem itemValue="#{t}" itemLabel="#{t.label}"></f:selectItem>
 </ui:repeat>
</h:selectOneMenu>

And only one entry got rendered and it was also a blank space. Again, you could select the blank entry and proceed.

If I removed the repeat and uses only (hardcoded) text, the select list would display correctly.

Again, I've used s:selectItems throughout my pages and it works beautifully. It's when I placed the select list inside a toolbar that it does not get rendered correctly.

Any idea?

Thanks

I just realized the bold text make it looked like I was screaming. I was not. Sorry about that. :-)

h:selectOnemenu is a JSF component. It allows only the particular type of components as child. ui:repeat is a component also. ui:repeat is NOT in the list of the components available as a child for h:selectOnemenu.

As soon as you use facelets, you can use c:forEach . It is not a JSF component. So, it should work just fine in this situation.

P.S. I used to count the attempts people tried to use ui:repeat like it is just a x:forEach, but already lost the counter. So, I can realize that my "NOT" looked like I was screaming. Frankly speaking, I was.

I see. Thanks.

However the original page snipped does not contain ui:repeat and looks 100% correct for my eye.
My idea was to try to detect what cause the problem - s:selectItems or rich:toolBarGroup.
It hard to imagine what can break rendering of s:selectItems in such strange way.
