Lookup Values in ComboBoxes

bytor99999 Dec 28, 2006 1:12 PM

Is there an annotation for attributes on Collections that makes the Collection usable for dropdowns, so that it fills the combobox with values, and when a user selects one it gets associated to another attribute of the class.

Kind of like

@DataModel and @DataModelSelection

So far i have set the Collection to be Outjected, but don't know where to go from there.

Maybe just point me to the chapter in any seam documentation.

Thanks

Hi,

for Collections usable for dropdowns, @Factory and @Unwrap is the one I can think of.

For a selection in a drop down, I don't believe there's an annotation.

Under the Components section on the wiki here

It looks like there are a few solutions for DropDowns. I will take a look at them. The second one looks the simplest, but the first is much more flexible. I like Annotations usage so I like the first two better than the third. The third looks like it requires too much code, having to define the converter.
