I am stuck on this for over a day now, so it is time to ask for help !
itemTypeEdit.xhtml (backed by EntityHome)
<s:label value="Default Location" />
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{itemTypeHome.instance.location}" required="true" label="Default Location" id="location">
<s:selectItems value="#{activeLocationList}" var="_location"
label="#{_location.locationName}" noSelectionLabel="[Select]"/>
<s:convertEntity />
</h:selectOneMenu>
components.xml
<framework:entity-query name="activeLocationList"
ejbql="select location from Location location"
order="location.locationName"
scope="conversation" />
I have equals() and hashcode() on Location entity.
This is the setup that works as expected - when I go to the itemTypeEdit.xhtml, all the locations are displayed in the ddl and if the default location had a prior value, it is automatically selected.
Well, I do not want all locations to be displayed only the active locations, so I write
ejbql="select location from Location location where location.enabled = true"
now, when I call the edit page, the current value for default location is NOT automatically selected instead the noselectionlabel is chosen by default giving the impression that there is no prior value.
I tried another approach and added a framework-restriction to the list
where location.enabled = #{true}and that did not help.
None of the Seam examples covered filtered lists, I looked at the UI, dvdstore examples.
What am I missing ?
