<rich:pickList> saved selected value not populate on page load

[swastikpadhy84]

Hi,

              I am using richface 4.1. In the <rich:pickList> , I selected few values and saved that in the database. On page load  these saved value are not comming in the selected list.

In the .XHTML file

<rich:pickList value="#{master.selListName}"  sourceCaption="Available Name" targetCaption="Selected Name" 
                                                          listWidth="165px" listHeight="100px" orderable="false"  >
                <f:selectItems value="#{master.matList}" />

            </rich:pickList>

in the Bean

@ManagedBean(name="master")
@ViewScoped
public class MasterBean {
private List<SelectItem> matList;
private List<SelectItem> selListName;

@postconstruct
public void init(){
 //loading the saved values of selListName from the db

}


+getter & setter
}

Thanks,

Swastik

Hi, swastik padhy

I think, variable matList in your MasterBean becomes empty on page load.

You need fill this List from database and render rich:pickList.

Hi Vitaliy,

     Thanks for your response. Before Page load I am getting the list from the DB and the list is not empty.

rich:pickList won't call master.setSelListName(...) when the pickList is changed.  I know it DOES call the setter when I submit the form.  I tried changing my form submit h:commandButton to an a4j:commandButton with ajaxSingle="true" and my changes never got to the server.

You would think there would be an easy way to make a pickList call the setter every time the user changes something.  Perhaps something like <rich:tabPanel switchType="ajax">.
