Problem with selectManyListbox

[Abiodun Adisa]

I have a SelectManyListBox Tag. When a user has selected an item, The Tag is supposed to submit the values to the siteList.Condiments Bean, The problem is the setCondiments() method is not getting executed, which means there is no way i can get the values selected from the listbox


The Code segments are

*******************************************************************
<h:selectManyListbox value="#{siteList.condiments}" immediate="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{siteList.condimentItems}"/>
</h:selectManyListbox>
************************************************************************
and the bean segments are

********************************************************************

public void setCondiments(Integer[] newValue) {==> This Segment is not getting Executed

System.out.println("Hello");
condiments = newValue;
}
public Integer[] getCondiments() {
return condiments;


}

Try naming your method condiments instead of setCondiments.

I used an ArrayList to do this...

<br><br>
Projects List
<h:selectManyListbox id="myselectManyListbox"
value="#{projectsHandler.selectedProjects}"
size="15" >
<f:selectItems id="myselectManyListValues"
value="#{projectsHandler.mySelectManyList}" />
</h:selectManyListbox>

<br><br>


private java.util.List mySelectManyList;
private String[] selectedProjects;

public void setMySelectManyList(java.util.ArrayList a)
{ mySelectManyList = a; }

public void setSelectedProjects(String[] items)
{ selectedProjects = items; }


public String[] getSelectedProjects() { return selectedProjects; }

public java.util.List getMySelectManyList() {

... some code to lm object from session ...

mySelectManyList = lm.getProjectsList();
}
return mySelectManyList;
}

Hi Amy,

It is not because you used an ArrayList. Note that your method is called selectedProjects, not setSelectedProjects.

I'm 99.9% sure he needs to remove "set" from his method prefix.

"setCondiments" should become "condiments"

[Abiodun Adisa]

I removed the "set" as requested and still it does'nt work. I believe setCondiments is correct as the value #{siteList.condiments} is referencing a bean which has both set and get Methods

[Charles McGuire]

Did you redeploy the application and bounce the server?

[A Saari]

hmmm....I think the set and get are correct - isn't that JavaBeans spec stuff?

try taking out

immediate="true"

just a thought...seems to me I had trouble when I did that...
