I have a table with a varchar column that will either be null or have the word Expedite in it. In my JSF, I need to present this as a checkbox with the word "Expedite" beside it. I am able to map the value to my object, and it does properly display as checked if the column is populated and unchecked if not. However, when I try to submit on this form (save changes), I get a string exception.
It seems h:selectBooleanCheckbox wants to work with a boolean value. That makes sense. What is the best approach to map the submitted value into "Expedite" as a string? Is this even the best component to use for this purpose? I cannot update the database table to a boolean, unfortunately.
What I've done so far is add a boolean to my object "expediteFlag" and method to get it based on if expedite has a value. It's all mapped to the selectbooleancheckbox:
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox title="expedite" styleClass="formCheckbox" value="#{libRequest.expediteFlag}">
</h:selectBooleanCheckbox>
Thanks in advance for any ideas!
<h:outputText value="Expedite"/>
When I view a record now with Expedite, it is correctly showing as selected.
However, when I try to save after creating a new record (same mappings), I get this wonderfully obtuse error message:
Caused by:
java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException: String index out of range: 0
I cannot figure out what it is expecting.
