Unable to conditionally render s:selectItems

[mvastrad]

My problem is that I need to conditionally render an option in the s:selectItems component. I tried the 'disabled' attribute which works fine in firefox but not in IE. The 'rendered' attribute seems to make no difference either. The option is rendered irrespective of the value of the rendered attribute.

This is how I use it:

<h:selectOneMenu
                                              value="#{myForm.actionType}"
                                              layout="pageDirection"
                                              id="selectedActionType">
                              
                                            <s:selectItems value="#{myForm.actionTypes}"
                                                         var="type"
                                                         rendered="type.displayable"
                                                         label="#{type.description}"/>
                                          <rms:enumListConverter/>
                                      </h:selectOneMenu>

You need to specify rendered="#{type.displayable}" or is that a typo in the post?

Alternately, you can always filter the actionTypes list before you display it.

Cheers,

Thanks Damien. Yes that was a typo, sorry about that. Yes i can filter the list, but was hoping I would be able to do it this way. Thanks

That seems like a decent feature request. You could always subclass UISelectItems and hook that up using Facelets, you'd have to reimplement getValue because asSelectItems is private ... so a bit of copy/paste would be needed.

Unfortunately the JSF spec doesn't define that a select item should obey the rendered attribute, so setting it on UISelectItems would have no effect.

I guess you could file a feature request for an attribute that would cause it not to be added to the generated list...
