preserving leading drop downs

[pedalshoe]

Hi,
I have working code! but I can't preserve the leading zeros; my table entries are:

accountTypeCode  accountTypeDesc
01               Business Checking
02              Personal Checking
03              Personal Savings

my xhtml:

                        <h:selectOneMenu id="bankaccounttypes" value="#{accountProfile.bankAccountType}">
                            <s:selectItems var="t" label="#{t.accountTypeDesc}"  noSelectionLabel="-- Select --"
                                           value="#{bankAccountTypes.resultList}" />
                            <s:convertEntity/>
                        </h:selectOneMenu>


Where bankAccountTypes is defined in components.xml:

<framework:entity-query name="bankAccountTypes"
      ejbql="select bat from BankAccountTypes bat">
    </framework:entity-query>

When renendered, the dropdown is created as planned, but the values for each option is "0", "1", "2".  Instead of "00", "01", "02":
<select id="bankaccounttypes" size="1" name="bankaccounttypes">
<option value="org.jboss.seam.ui.NoSelectionConverter.noSelectionValue">-- Select --</option>
<option value="0">Business Checking</option>
<option value="1">Personal Checking</option>
<option value="2">Personal Savings</option>
</select>

Thank you,
Christopher

That is not what is happening. This is just the way the entity converter works, the first entity is entity 0, the second 1 etc, it has nothing to do with leading zeros. The target accountProfile.bankAccountType should be a BankAccountTypes and not a string anyway.

Does the code actually work?

Then it was a coincidence.  When I saw the html rendered and saw the value populated, I just assumed it was correct, and I just had to understand it.  It makes sense to make accountProfile.bankAccountType a BankAccountTypes type...  I will try it now.
Thanks for the response.
