    Problem with selectItems

    hasc

      Hi,

      im trying my best to get a selectbox filled with objects. I tried the following simple example:

      @Stateless
      @Name("buildinglist")
      public class ItemListAction implements ItemList,Serializable{
      
       public List buildingList;
      
       @Factory("buildingList")
       public void listBuildings(){
       this.buildingList = new ArrayList();
       SelectItem item = new SelectItem("1", "My First Item");
       this.buildingList.add(item);
       item = new SelectItem("2","My Second Item");
       this.buildingList.add(item);
       }
      }
      


      and i try to access and display it via the followin code:

      <h:selectOneMenu>
       <f:selectItem itemLabel="" itemValue="null"/>
       <f:selectItems value="#{buildingList}"></f:selectItems>
      </h:selectOneMenu>
      


      when i request the page i get the following error;
      "Expected a child component type of UISelectItem/UISelectItems for component type javax.faces.SelectOne(j_id10).


      Can someone help me please...

      regards,
      hannes

          Try using s:selectItems in Seam (take a look at the ui example)

          • 2. Re: Problem with selectItems

            using s:selectItems leads to the same error message

              Lets see some code - how you create the list, how you use it, and the stack trace. Also, what version of JSF and Seam are you using.

                first thanks you for the fast answers and your help.

                the way i generate the list and the way i use it can u see in my initial post.

                the stack trace is the following:

                java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: "Expected a child component type of UISelectItem/UISelectItems for component type javax.faces.SelectOne(j_id10).

                      Take a look at the ui example to see how to use s:selectItems (it decouples your business and presentation logic)

                      • 8. Re: Problem with selectItems

                        i looked at the examples but they do not help me. in the example they get the objects by a named query.

                        my goal is to set up a stateless ejb that serves lists to display them e.g. in the selectItems component. As soon as that works i want to retrieve the objects out of a database.

                          I had the same problem and the solution was very simple. On the bean where @Factory annotation is used the @Name must be specified. This way seam initializes the factory and doesn't return null.
