@DataModelSelection and selectOneItem?

[igx89]

Does @DataModelSelection work with selectOneItem, when using s:selectItems? I'm trying to use it, but it always just points at the first item in the model.

 @DataModel(scope=ScopeType.PAGE) private List<Product> products;

 @DataModelSelection private Product product;

 @Factory(value="products")
 public void initProducts() {
 products = ProductHelper.fetchProducts(database);
 }

 <h:selectOneMenu>
 <s:selectItems value="#{products}" var="product" label="#{product.productDesc}" />
 </h:selectOneMenu>

No

Ok, I was afraid of that. That might warrant a note in the documentation somewhere?

Also, any chance of support being added in the near future? It gets really tedious to have to do the following:

 public String getProduct() {
 return product != null ? product.toString() : "";
 }

 public void setProduct(String productObject) {
 // this is incredibly, unbelievable ugly
 for(Product aProduct: products) {
 if(aProduct.toString().equals(productObject)) {
 product = aProduct;
 return;
 }
 }
 }

This is what a converter is for.

Then you can use object setters/getters:

public Product getProduct() {
 return product;
}

public void setProduct(Produce product) {
 this.product = product;
}

I wish! I'm using Hibernate, and the entity converter requires JPA :(. I've requested a version for Hibernate in the past, but nothing's been done there yet.
