Wiring components from rich:suggestionbox selection

[yannfromparis]

Hi there,

I've got this kind of relation between two entities :

@Entity
public class Entity1 implements Serializable {
    ...
    private Entity2 entity2;
    ...

    @NotNull
    @OneToOne
    @JoinColumn(name = "entity2_id")
    public Entity2 getEntity2() {
        return entity2;
    }
}

I've got an edit page for the Entity1, with a field which references the entity2.name attribute. The user can select different values thanks to a rich:suggestionbox. What I can't achieve is to wire the Entity2 with the Entity1 based on the user's selection. From what I've seen, I'm not able to use the @DataModel annotation. Perhaps a valueChangeListener ?

Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks,

Yann

Hello,

Take a look at the <s:convertEntity> Seam tag. Documentation can be found in chapter Seam JSF controls of Seam specs (chapter 32 for Seam 2.1.1 docs).
