Hmmm, I'm stuck and would appreciate any help available (bet you've never read that on here before - LOL).
I'm building a dynamically populated af:selectonechoice and it works almost exactly as I'd like it. I'm grabbing distinct years from our database for those records which are active via a query in a sessionfacadebean - this query simply orders them in decending order (for example: 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008). But, my problem is that I can only get the page to load with the selectonechoice defaulted to the first year in the list.
Here's the code as it sits now . . .
jspx page:
and here's the code from the backing bean:
I've tried any and all manner of voodoo and code permutations, but, obviously, I'm missing the obvious somewhere. The selectoncechoice ALWAYS defaults to whatever the first year in the resultset is - and, of course, we want the years in order. But, we'd like the page to load with the current year selected by default.
So, the list may be:
2010
2009
2008
We'd like 2009 to be the default selected, not 2010 - which is what's being selected now (since it's first in the list).
* I've tried setting a value of "holder" in the backing bean when I'm working with the current year, and then reference that in the jspx page with the "value" element of the af:selectOneChoice - like this --> value="#{backing_reports_calholiday.holder}" . . . but, that didn't work.
* I can, of course, hard code the "value" element of the af:selectOneChoice when I "know" what the placement of the current year is in my result set . . . but, obviously, that's not the solution.
In my old .asp days it would simply be dynamically setting one of the <option> tags as "selected" within the <select> tag.
Hmmm (Image of me scratching my chin thoughtfully)
Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
