    Seam 2.0 BETA : convertEntity / SelectOneMenu problem

    vwiencek

      Hi,

      I have some difficulties to use a selectOneMenu with Seam.

      I have a RegisterBean which containes the following ...

      @Stateful
      @Scope(ScopeType.SESSION)
      @Name("register")
      public class RegisterBean implements Register {
       ...
       @PersistenceContext
       private EntityManager em;
       ...
      
       @In (required = false)
       private City selectedCity;
      
       public List<City> getCities() {
       ...
       }
      }
      


      My bean interface contains

      @Local
      public interface Register {
       ....
       public List<City> getCities();
      
      }
      


      My register.xhtml file contains

      <!DOCTYPE composition PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
       "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
      <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
       xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"
       xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
       xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
       xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
       xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.ajax4jsf.org/rich"
       xmlns:a="https://ajax4jsf.dev.java.net/ajax"
       template="layout/template.xhtml">
      ....
       <h:selectOneMenu
       id="selectedCity"
       value="#{selectedCity}"
       required="false">
      
       <s:selectItems
       value="#{register.cities}"
       var="c"
       label="#{c.postalCode} - #{c.name}"
       noSelectionLabel="Select a City" />
       <s:convertEntity />
       </h:selectOneMenu>
      ...
      </ui:composition>
      
      


      Now, when I try to access my form, the combobox displays with my list of cities, but when I submit the form, I get a null value into register.selectedCity ... and I can't get rid of that problem.

      Behind this, I'm asking whether I must use @DataModel (for my list of cities) and @DataModelSelection for my selectedCity value.

      Thanks a lot.

      Vincent
