selectManyCheckBox doesnt popolate the values selected

Hi,

I am newbee to JSF, facing a issue with the selected values.

Here is the scenario.

I have List of objects which i am populating in the .XHTML file.

<h:selectManyCheckbox value="#{srchDev.osSelected}">
<f:converter converterId="utilConverter" />
<f:selectItems value="#{srchDev.osList}" />
</h:selectManyCheckbox>

In the backing bean i have

private List<OS> osList;
private List<OS> osSelected;

In the converter

i am wondering on how the get the values selected.
In getAsObject method,
value of the String just returns "on".

How do i get the actual selected string or value and convert to an object.

Any examples will be really helpful

Thanks

Hi,
As far as I know

takes a list of type SelectItem

and
the value will have to map to a string

Try modelling the solution like this it will help.

You would not have to use the converter then.

Hi,

But if we select multiple check box how would this get into the single String value i.e. private String osSelected?

Thanks

Sorry about that,
select One List Box, ya you are going in the right direction the only thing is

will change to

one question, why did you try to use a converter? Was it required in this case.

Currently, this is what i am trying to do, but its not getting the selected values into the list.

The populated list for the check box returns the objects.

I am looking for some good examples but finding any?
