Problem whith SelectOneMenu - selected

[gazadonf]

Hi all.

I have a problem with <f:selectOneMenu> when i have a selected value, it is never selected in my page.

Here is my page code:

<s:decorate id="typeMouvement" template="../../layout/edit.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="selectOneMenu">
 <h:selectOneMenu id="listTypeMouvement" value="#{ecr_cta_1.myNaturePiece}" converter="#{ecr_cta_1.natureConverter}" rendered="#{ecr_cta_1.editMode}" required="#{ecr_cta_1.editMode}">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel=""/>
 <f:selectItems value="#{ecr_cta_1.natureConverter.content}"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </ui:define>
 </s:decorate>

Here is my converterFacory code:

public MapConverter getConverter(IrCompagnie myCompagnie, final String theConvertedClassName)
 throws ConverterException
 {
 MapConverter theConverter = null;
 try
 {
 theConverter = converterFactory.getConverter(myCompagnie, theConvertedClassName);
 }

here is the code of the MapConverter class

public class MapConverter implements Converter
{

 @Logger
 Log log = Logging.getLog(MapConverter.class);

 /** The content. */
 private final Map<String, DatabaseObject> content;

 /**
 * Gets the content.
 *
 * @return the content
 */
 public Map<String, DatabaseObject> getContent()
 {
 return content;
 }

 /**
 * Instantiate a new map converter.
 *
 * @param content
 * the content
 */
 public MapConverter(final Map<String, DatabaseObject> content)
 {
 super();
 this.content = content;
 }

 /**
 * return the objet's key.
 *
 * @param object
 * the object
 *
 * @return the key as string
 */
 private String getAsString(final DatabaseObject object)
 {
 String key = null;
 for (final Map.Entry<String, DatabaseObject> theEntry : content.entrySet())
 {

 log.debug("=====================>> theEntry.key #0", theEntry.getKey());

 if (theEntry.getValue().equals(object))
 {
 key = theEntry.getKey();
 break;
 }
 }
 return key;
 }

 /**
 * return the object
 *
 * @param key
 * the key
 *
 * @return the object
 */
 private DatabaseObject getAsObject(final String key)
 {
 return content.get(key);
 }

 /*
 * (non-Javadoc)
 *
 * @see javax.faces.convert.Converter#getAsObject(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, javax.faces.component.UIComponent,
 * java.lang.String)
 */
 public Object getAsObject(final FacesContext arg0, final UIComponent arg1, final String arg2)
 {
 return getAsObject(arg2);
 }

 /*
 * (non-Javadoc)
 *
 * @see javax.faces.convert.Converter#getAsString(javax.faces.context.FacesContext, javax.faces.component.UIComponent,
 * java.lang.Object)
 */
 public String getAsString(final FacesContext arg0, final UIComponent arg1, final Object arg2)
 {
 String retour = null;
 if (arg2 instanceof DatabaseObject)
 {
 retour = getAsString((DatabaseObject)arg2);
 }
 return retour;
 }

 public void setLog(final Log log)
 {
 this.log = log;
 }
}

My selectItems are all dispayed what ever i have in the vlaue field, it is never selected when i display my page.

What's wrong with my code???

Hi all...

In fact, my code has no problem, it's a JSF bug!!! ;P

I use Jboss 4.2.2.GA with JSF 1.2_04 and i load all my parameters (ie converters content) at the server's startup.
All my parameters are scope APPLICATION, except my EntityManager

When i call my page, with a preselected value load by another EntityManager in my selectOneMenu, i have this exception:

Cannot convert myPackage.ejb3.IrFractionnement@41 of type class myPackage.ejb3.IrFractionnement to class myPackage.ejb3.IrFractionnement_$$_javassist_102

It's in the renderOption() method of MenuRenderer class when i call

newValue = context.getApplication().getExpressionFactory().coerceToType(itemValue, type);

which have a singular comment:

// this should catch an ELException, but there is a bug
// in ExpressionFactory.coerceToType() in GF

I have an ugly solution to bypass the problem but we are trying to fix it by applying the 1.2_08 patch release of Mojarra.
