s:convertEntity

[mickgiu.mickgiu.gmail.com]

Hi,
i'm new of seam and jboss developer. I want to create a search form and display results with datatable.
I don' want to use EntityQuery like wizard of developer.
In my form i have a
h:selectOneMenu
s:selectItems
s:convertEntity.
It doesn't work.
it depends because form is not associated with entity?

And can someone gime me an example of usage.
thanks in advance

<h:selectManyListbox size="10" value="#{member.roles}"> 
     <s:selectItems var="r" value="#{availableRoles}" label="#{r.name}"/> 
     <s:convertEntity/> 
</h:selectManyListbox>

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{person.continent}" required="true">
      <s:selectItems value="#{continents.resultList}" var="continent"

Hi, thanks for the answer but i had done as you wrote me.
I have a page that contains this code

      <h:selectOneMenu value="#{hotelSearch.pippolo}"> 

       <s:selectItems value="#{hotelSearch.capitalsList}" var="continent" 
                 label="#{continent.countryName}"   
                 noSelectionLabel="Please Select..."/>
    <s:convertEntity />   
    </h:selectOneMenu>

and an ejb like this

public class UtiSearchAction implements UtiSearch
{
   
   @PersistenceContext
   private EntityManager em;
   
   
   private Countries pippolo;
   private List<Countries> capitalsList;
   
   @Create
   public void init() {
        capitalsList = em.createQuery("select c from Countries c ").getResultList();
        pippolo = new Countries();
        pippolo = capitalsList.get(1);
   }
   
   @DataModel
   private List<Locations> hotels;
   
   
   public List<Countries> getCapitalsList() {
     return capitalsList;
}
public void setCapitalsList(List<Countries> capitalsList) {
     this.capitalsList = capitalsList;
}
public Countries getPippolo() {
     return pippolo;
}
public void setPippolo(Countries pippolo) {
     System.out.println("ciao");
     this.pippolo = pippolo;
}

when i load data for dropdown all is ok: when dropdown put value (i think) i get this error

value is not valid

i don't understand where is the error.
thank

that indicates that the data value for the drop-down is invalid.  find out what the data value is.  also, are you using any validators or Hibernate validators?

Hi,
i found that problem is in

public boolean equals(Object object)

of Entity object ( as i read in other forum).
Data value is ok, if i override that method (and return true) all is ok.
Bu this is not a solution.
Can you help me ?
Thanks

I think your missing the id attribute.

      <h:selectOneMenu value="#{hotelSearch.pippolo}"> 

       <s:selectItems value="#{hotelSearch.capitalsList}" 
                       var="continent" 
                       label="#{continent.countryName}"
                       id="pk"
                       noSelectionLabel="Please Select..."/>
         <s:convertEntity />   
    </h:selectOneMenu>
