1. Re: Editable dropdown to implement in seam project
chopin Sep 15, 2009 8:42 PM (in response to valatharv)Hi,
maybe the selectInputText tag of the ICEfaces project fits?
http://www.icefaces.org/docs/latest/tld/ice/selectInputText.html
You can implement a value change listener to update the list on basis of the entered letters. The content of the drop down list may be taken from another table which may be editable for the users. If you do not have to much entries, the plain JSF selectItems tag may also help?

valatharv Sep 15, 2009 8:52 PM (in response to valatharv)Thanks for the response Stefan...
We already have a application in production which uses richfaces 3.1.4.GA.
Env: jboss-4.2.3, jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1I checked for rich:comboBox but looks like it is not supported by above version...
Is there a way we can still implementit using current version of seam and jboss.
Regards

I will try the option, we need to display the list from database.
As, it is not available in richfaces 3.1.4.GA, can I directly use "richfaces-*-3.3.1.GA" jars with jboss-4.2.3, jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1... -

valatharv Sep 16, 2009 11:22 PM (in response to valatharv)Hi,
I tried to display list of items (from database) in rich:comboBox directly from seam component xxxxList.java.
I am getting the whole object in dropdown but need only itemName i.e. ItemA, ItemB, ItemC in combo box
I am sure I am doing it wrong and might not be the right way, please suggest.
OUTPUT in comboBox:
-------------------
com.entity.Item@687235[ itemName=ItemA dateCreated=<null> ]
com.entity.Item@1223041[ itemName=ItemB dateCreated=<null> ]
com.entity.Item@18e0f79[ itemName=ItemC dateCreated=<null> ]
XHTML:
-----
<rich:comboBox defaultLabel="Enter some value"
label="#{itemListHome.instance.itemName}"
value="#{item.itemName}">
<s:selectItems id="itemList" value="#{itemList.resultList}"
var="item" label="#{item.itemName}">
</s:selectItems>
</rich:comboBox>
Entity:
-----
@Entity(name = "Item")
public class Item {
protected String itemName;
@Basic
@Column(name = "ITEM_NAME")
public String getItemName() {
return itemName;
}
@Basic
@Column(name = "DATE_CREATED")
@Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
public Date getDateCreated() {
return dateCreated;
}
......
}
Default generated by seam
------------------------
@Name("itemList")
public class ItemList extends EntityQuery{
@Override
public String getEjbql() {
return "select item from Item item";
}
....
}
