s:selectItems - whto work

[lawrieg]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting s:selectItems and ec:convertEntity to work, and wondered if anyone had any suggestions?

When I run my app, if I select any item from the drop-down (apart from the noSelectionLabel item) then I get an "value is not valid" validation message when I save. If I don't select an item (i.e. leave the noSelectionLabel item selected) then I get an exception (detailed below). Can anyone shed any light on why s:selectItems isn't working for me?

CustomerEdit.xhtml

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{customerHome.instance.status}" id="status">
 <s:selectItems value="#{statuses.resultList}" var="status" label="#{status.description}" noSelectionLabel="Please Select..." />
 <ec:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneMenu>

CustomerHome.java

@Name("customerHome")
public class CustomerHome extends EntityHome<Customer> {

 public void setCustomerId(Integer id) {
 setId(id);
 }

 public Integer getCustomerId() {
 return (Integer) getId();
 }

 @Override
 protected Customer createInstance() {
 Customer customer = new Customer();
 return customer;
 }

 public Customer getManagedInstance() {
 return isManaged() ? getInstance() : null;
 }

 public List<Activity> getActivities() {
 return getInstance() == null ? null : new ArrayList<Activity>(
 getInstance().getActivities());
 }

}

I just updated seam from a CVS build on 10th Feb to the most recent nightly build and now I get the above exception (org.hibernate.PropertyValueException: not-null property references a null or transient value: com.jaywing.commsbuilder.Customer.status) whether or not I select an item in my drop-down.

What I can't figure out is:
1. Why the I now seemingly always get a null value set for status.
2. Why before I upgraded to the latest nightly build I was getting a "value is not valid" when I selected an item in the drop-down.
3. Also, why I'm getting an exception rather than a validation message.

Any ideas? Are these issues with ec:convertEntity / s:selectItems, or is there somewhere I'm going wrong in my code?

Thanks,
Lawrie

Are you inside a conversation?

[lawrieg]

No - I just modified the seam-gen generated code (which just seems to use default scopes) and removed the following lines form my generated CustomerHome.java code (as I don't need status to be mutable)

@In(value = "#{statusHome.managedInstance}", required = false)
 Status status;

and

public void wire() {
 if (status != null) {
 getInstance().setStatus(status);
 }
 }

 public boolean isWired() {
 if (getInstance().getStatus() == null)
 return false;
 return true;
 }

[lawrieg]

Sorry, what I meant was that my seam-gen generated CustomerHome class extends Seam Application Framework EntityHome (which, of course, has conversational scope).

[pmuir]

Could you create a jira and attach a compileable, runnable project that shows the problem. Thanks :)

I am also having a problem, but mine is migrating from si:selectItems to s:selectItems.

My usage is below:

<h:selectOneMenu id="#{id}"
 value="#{value}">
 <s:selectItems value="#{selectItems}"
 var="si"
 label="#{si.label}"
 noSelectionLabel="Select"/>
 <ec:convertEntity />
 </h:selectOneMenu>

If I change s:selectItems to si:selectItems then ec:convertEntity works correctly as converter="org.jboss.seam.EntityConverter" did before.

I have a page that has 11 select boxes all included by use of a custom facelets tag that includes the code above.

When I use s:selectItems i get the following error messages:
1. "Invalid selection. Selected item cannot be loaded from persistence context" -- This is for all entites except ones that are mapped by @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED )
2. "value is not valid" -- this is what I get for entities that are mapped by @Inheritance(strategy=InheritanceType.JOINED )

Also I have two select boxes that are not loaded with the correct value when the page is displayed. All other have the correct values selected. These entities have a label like

@Transient
public String getLabel()
{
 DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("###,###,###,###,##0.000");
 return df.format(this.size);
}

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I will continue to use si:selectItems until I can resolve this, but I would like to remove the deprecated jars from my project.

I forgot to mention I am using Seam 1.1.6.

For problem 1:

Is your SMPC called entityManager? If not are you correctly telling the entityConverter what it is called (see the wiki).

If you put a breakpoint at AbstractEntityConverter:170 can you check that (a) whether the correct Lookup is used and (b) whether the correct entityManager is used - and also whether the correct class is specified and the correct id.

Problem 2:

Not sure - I would suggest getting Problem 1 sorted first.

Problem 3:

Do you mean the label doesn't display correctly? Or that the wrong item is selected?

This is what I have for the entity manager in components.xml

 <core:managed-persistence-context name="entityManager"
 persistence-unit-jndi-name="java:/xxx.xxx.comEntityManagerFactory"/>

A lot of my queries are loaded form SLSB DAOs that get their entity manager by

 @PersistenceContext
 public EntityManager entityManager;

Is there a better way to inject the entity manger that will us the SMPC or is it already using the SMPC?

[cja987]

You need to use @In to inject a SMPC, not @PersistenceContext.

[cja987]

The forum seems to have eaten my response, so I'll try again:

You need to use @In to inject the SMPC, not @PersistenceContext.

[cja987]

And there was my previous reply. I sure can't wait for seam-forum to replace phpBB :P

[supernovasoftware.com]

I removed all of my

@PersistenceContext

in favor of

@In(create=true)
public EntityManager entityManager;

I also replaced all

@EJB

with

@In(create=true) MyDAO myDAO;

This did make it work a little better.

Then I stepped into AbstractEntityConverter and EntityConverter. I found that getAsObject was being passed what looked like my entity default toString. I then override toString with the following:

public String toString()
 {
 return (id==null) ? null : id.toString();
 }

Now it works correctly.

It it necessary to implement toString on all my entites in this manner or did I configure something wrong? I did not change much as I had this working with si:selectItems.

I also had to specify the entity class on my h:selectManyListbox . This was not necessary for si:selectItems. Is it planned to make this work the same way with s:selectItems?

Please wait for 1.1.7.GA or use Seam from CVS (sorry, this was a bug in 1.1.6.GA)
