Hi all!
I'm now in war with rich:combobox and f:selectItems
Why?? It's simple! Label is ignored!!!
I try to explain me better.
My xhtml page has:
<rich:comboBox defaultLabel="Make a choice" value="#{myBean.chs.get(0).label}">
<f:selectItems value="#{myBean.chs}" var="ch" itemLabel="#{ch.label}" itemValue="#{ch}" />
</rich:comboBox>
My java code is:
public List<MySelectItem> getChs(){
List<SelectItem> ret = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
for (int i=0;i<10;i++){
SelectItem si=new SelectItem();
si.setValue("The value "+i);
si.setLabel("The label "+i);
}
return ret;
}
The strange is that my choice has a visualization like following containing 10 elements... but for each element display "The value xxx"
Ad label? Why we can specify if they aren't used?
I try to create an extended class of SelectItem and put a System.out.println each every call to getValue and getLabel methods.
I see the getValue methods are called, but getLabel methods aren't!!!!!!!
If I need to specify a visual appearance String, but a different thing must be manipulated by the server, it's impossible!!!!!
I'm becaming crazy. How can I link a select item to an object?
