pageflow, validation and redisplay

[knisterpeter]

Hi,

I have a pageflow + validation problem.
1. When I submit my partial data and validation fails the data inserted by the user is not redisplayed. This is very annoying.
2. I have h:selectOneMenu wich is backed by a java enum field with two options. The validation of this field is always failing.

Here is my page code and my pageflow-definition:

<s:decorate id="salutationDecorate"
 template="#{themeSelector.resourcePrefix}/fieldDecorate.xhtml">
 <ui:define name="label">#{messages.salutation}:</ui:define>
 <ui:define name="field">
 <h:selectOneMenu id="salutation" value="#{person.salutation}"
 required="true">
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="#{messages.salutationMr}" itemValue="MR" />
 <f:selectItem itemLabel="#{messages.salutationMrs}"
 itemValue="MRS" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 </ui:define>
</s:decorate>
...
<div class="buttonBar"><h:commandButton action="next"
 value="#{messages.btnRegister}" /></div>

...
<start-page name="register" view-id="/public/register.xhtml">
 <redirect />
 <transition name="next" to="personRegistered">
 <action expression="#{register.register}" />
 </transition>
</start-page>
...

What am I doing wrong? Anyone has an idea?

If you mean a Java 5 enum, then your JSF isn't going to work.

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{person.salutation}" required="true">
 <s:enumItem label="#{messages.salutationMr}" enumValue="MR" />
 <s:enumItem label="#{messages.salutationMrs}" enumValue="MRS" />
 <s:convertEnum />
</h:selectOneMenu>

Thanks. That does work now. As well as the redisplay of the field values. :)
