You probably want something like this, which sticks a list of cities into application scope on server startup:

@Startup
@Scope(APPLICATION)
@Name("cityList")
public class CityListManager
{

    List<String> cities;
    @Unwrap
    public List<String> getCities()
    {
       return cities;
    }

    @Create
    public void create()
    {
      //load XML file (or whatever) and stick it into the cities list

    }



}

Thanks first of all for such a quick reply. Since I am just a beginner, my question can be stupid.

I need to ask that in create method do I have to write code for XML parsing using SAX or DOM parser or is there any other way.

Secondly, if I have 2 pages and both the pages have two dropdowns, one for state and one for cities. Firstly city's dropdown is disabled and gets enabled only if we select a state and values in city's dropdown gets changed based on the state selected.
So do I have to make two such beans , one for state and one for city.

And how will I refer to these state list and city list in the the two beans related to two pages.

Thanks a lot once again.

You have two options, the first is to use the approach I posted above, parsing it with SAX. Stick the states into a List and the cities into a Map<String,List<String>> (assuming you want to represent them as strings and not some other object type).

@Startup
@Scope(APPLICATION)
@Name("stateManager")
public class CityListManager
{

    List<String> states;
    
    Map<String,List<String>> cities;

    @Create
    public void create()
    {
      //load XML file (or whatever) and stick it into the cities list

    }



}

.xhtml:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{myBean.state}" >
  <s:selectItems value="#{stateManager.states}" var="i" label="#{i}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{myBean.city}" enabled="#{myBean.state != null}" >
  <s:selectItems value="#{stateManager.cities[myBean.state]}" var="i" label="#{i}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

You could also do something like this:

public class StateController
{
  List<State> states;
  //getter & setter

}

public class State
{
  List<String> cities;
  //getter and setter

  String stateName;

}

Then in components.xml:

<component name="NSW" class="com.mypackage.State" >
 <property name="cities" >
   <value>Sydney</value>
   <value>Newcastle</value>
   .....
 </property>
 <property name="stateName" >
   New South Wales
 </property
</component>

<component name="allStates" class="com.mypackage.StateController" >
 <property name="states" >
   <value>#{NSW}</value>
   <value>#{QLD}</value>
   .....
 </property>
</component>

This approach means you do not have to edit any xml, however I think the top approach is the most correct.

4. Re: Static data

Thanks once again.

I tried second solution, may be because I find it easier. But how to refer to it in .xhtml.

I made two classes as you suggested and placed a @Name annotation on both to refer them in .xhtml. But I got the following error :

swd847 Feb 27, 2009 11:14 AM (in response to ssahni)

Don't worry about @Name, at the moment you have two components, stateCotroller and allStates, stateController has an empty list of cities, which is why you are getting that exception. When you define the component is components.xml with a new name you get a completly new component Change your xhtml to something like:

<h:selectOneMenu id="state" value="#{reverseAddress.selectedState}">
 <a:support event="onchange" reRender="city,errorMsg"></a:support>
 <s:selectItems value="#{allStates.states}" var="i" label="#{i}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
<a4j:outputPanel id="city" >
<h:selectOneMenu  value="#{reverseAddress.cityField}" disabled="#{reverseAddress.selectedState==null}">
 <s:selectItems value="#{reverseAddress.selectedState.cities}" var="j" label="#{j}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

</a4j:outputPanel>

I have had a few beers though, so no guarentees.

swd847 Mar 2, 2009 9:08 AM (in response to ssahni)

The problem is with the second dropdown, the list is null until you select the first item, and jsf complains. Use rendered rather than disabled as I did in my example.

8. Re: Static data

ssahni Mar 2, 2009 9:34 AM (in response to ssahni)

It worked, but I am getting the following in the States dropdown :

common.com.State@75d86b
and
common.com.State@d38525

instead I should get names of states like Rajasthan and Karnatka, which I entered in Components.xml.

I replaced the code in .xhtml for the first dropdown with following (I replaced the allStates.states with allStates.states.stateName) :

                                <h:selectOneMenu id="state" value="#{reverseAddress.selectedState}">
                                <a:support event="onchange"  reRender="city,errorMsg"></a:support>
                                <s:selectItems value="#{allStates.states.stateName}" var="i" label="#{i}" />
                            </h:selectOneMenu>

But with this I got the following error :

java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "stateName"
     at java.lang.NumberFormatException.forInputString(NumberFormatException.java:48)

In .xhtml I changed to following ,

label="#{i.stateName}"

which now shows the desired values ie Rajasthan and Karnatka

but when I change the value in the dropdown I get following exception :

Conversion error setting value 'common.com.State@12cg34' for 'null Converter'.

One out the way question. Please do answer this question.Please.

If in case states and cities in a country changes. Then does implementing through components.xml will again need building the project and again deploying the project.

Or server can directly take the changed values through components.xml just after server startup.

As in the first approach through SAX parser etc. I think only server startup is required after changing the XML.

Hope I am clear.

Please let me know.
