selectManyListbox value attribute

[Justin Rundle]

Hi,

Using ICEFaces/JSF selectManyListbox component to create a list where a user can select multiple items. My selectManyListbox component binds to a String[] in the backing bean:

<ice:selectManyListbox
	id="searchOptions"
	value="#{updateIndividualClientController.client.searchOptions}"
	partialSubmit="true"
	size="5">
		<f:selectItems id="asd" value="#{listController.searchOptions}"/>
</ice:selectManyListbox>
 

But i want to bind the value of the selectManyListbox component to an actual java.util.Collection where the collection contains a POJO ClientSearchOption object:

@Entity
@Table(name = "ClientSearchOption")
public final class ClientSearchOption extends BaseEntity<Integer> {

	@Id
	@GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
	@Column(name = "ID")
	private Integer primaryId;

	@ManyToOne
	@JoinColumn(name = "ClientCode", nullable = false)
	private Client client;

	@Column(name = "SearchOptionCode")
	private String searchOptionCode;

	public ClientSearchOption() {
		this(null, null);
	}

	public ClientSearchOption(Client client, String searchOptionCode) {
		this.client = client;
		this.searchOptionCode = searchOptionCode;
	}

	@Override
	public Integer getPrimaryId() {
		return primaryId;
	}

	@Override
	public void setPrimaryId(Integer primaryId) {
		this.primaryId = primaryId;
	}

	public Client getClient() {
		return client;
	}

	public void setClient(Client client) {
		this.client = client;
	}

	public String getSearchOptionCode() {
		return searchOptionCode;
	}

	public void setSearchOptionCode(String searchOptionCode) {
		this.searchOptionCode = searchOptionCode;
	}
}

How can i bind the Collection of ClientSearchOptions to the selectManyListbox.

Thanks,
Justin
