    how can i get a selected value for a 'f:selectItems' when the options are foreign from other table?

    mlov

      hi,

      I have 2 tables: 1. client (id, name, company_id) 2. company(id,name)

       

      I need create a  filter with the fields (from the table client) from other table (company) and I can create the list but i can´t get the value selected by the user.

      I have the files:

      • clientList.xhtml
      • ClientList.page.xml
      • ClientList.java
      • Client.java
      • Company.java

       

      As the table client has a foreign key to the table company the class Client has a object of the class company then I access to the company selected with the tag

      #{clientList.client.company.id}

       

      my xhtml:

       

      <h:selectOneMenu

                              value="#{clientList.client.company.id}">

                              <f:selectItems value="#{listCompanies}" />

                              <s:convertEntity />

         </h:selectOneMenu>

      It´s ok this shows the select list.

      ...

      my clientList.page.xml

       

      :

      .

         <param name="from"/>

         <param name="client.company.id" value="#{clientList.client.company.id}" />

      ...

      my ClientList.java

      ...

      private static final String EJBQL = "select client from Client client";

      private static final String[] RESTRICTIONS = { "client.company.id =(#{clientList.client.company.id})", };

      ...

      my Client.java

      ...

          private Integer id;

          private Company company;

          private String name;

      ...

       

       

      But when the user select an option it does not work.

          First of all you are using convertEntity so you need this code

           

          <h:selectOneMenu

                                  value="#{clientList.client.company}">

                                  <f:selectItems value="#{listCompanies}" />

                                  <s:convertEntity />

             </h:selectOneMenu>

           

          remove id

           

          then whereever the listCompanies is coming from use this

          @Begin(join=true)

           

          if you have problem as far as i concern company is targetunreachable while you r accessing it from client

          define it as seam component in components.xml as a property of client
