Dropdown i created, has a list of items. I feel there is some mistake with the Bean.

[Sivarama Raju]

I tried a lot with the Dropdown, but couldn't give action to the submit button, for the items in dropdown. This is my code:

JSF:
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{CalcBean.selectValue}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Add" itemValue="SubmitAdd" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Multiply"itemValue="SubmitMultiply" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Subtract" itemValue="SubmitDivide" />
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Divide" itemValue="SubmitDivide"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

<h:commandButton action="#{CalcBean.selectChoice}" "Submit"></h:commandButton>

Backing bean:

public String selectChoice() {
String returnVal = "";
if (selectValue == "SubmitAdd") {
returnVal = add();
} else if (selectValue == "SubmitMultiply") {
returnVal = multiply();
} else if (selectValue == "SubmitSutract") {
returnVal = subtract();
} else if (selectValue == "SubmitDivide") {
returnVal = divide();
}
return returnVal;
}


public String getSelectChoice() {
return selectChoice;
}

public void setSelectValue(String aSelectValue) {
this.selectValue = aSelectValue;
}

public String getSelectValue() {
return selectValue;
}


Hey i am new friends, might have done some silly mistakes.

Thanks and regards,

You cannot call action method through javascript.

Fetch the dropdown value in your action method perform required operation as you wish.

If you want to trigger an action in onchange of dropdown, here is the work around.

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{CalcBean.selectValue}" onchange="document.getElementById('button').click()">

<h:commandButton action="#{CalcBean.selectChoice}" value="Submit" id="button"></h:commandButton>
