Doubt in ajax4jsf

[vidhya jayapalan]

Hi,

The following code selects a value from drop down and displays the same as text/label.

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{sam.country}"  >
 <f:selectItems value="#{sam.country_list}" />
 <a4j:support event="onchange" reRender="countryname"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
    <br>           
 
<h:outputText id="countryname" value="#{sam.country}"/>            
 

Instead, i would like to display the selected value to a text box.

 
 
<h:inputText id="countryname" value="#{sam.country}"/>
 
   

But, the value selected is not rendering to the text box.


Are there any attributes to be added ?

Is it possible to render a value to the text box?

Please help.

Thanks,
Vidhya

Yes it is..

but it would be better if you paste here the stack trace or any error.. in order to get help in this query..

cheers!

I dont get any error message or stack trace in the server.

then try on firebug (a javascript debugger ).. or check into the Javascript Console inside the tool menu of Firefox.

Hi,

can anybody help me on the above issue. I dont see any error on the console nor as javascript error.

I am new to JSF, I have also used

    
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{sam.country}" immediate="true" valueChangeListener="#{sam.countryChanged}" onchange="submit()">   
                  
 <f:selectItems value="#{sam.country_list}" />       
                   
  </h:selectOneMenu> 
             
 <h:outputText id = "countryname" value = "#{sam.country}" />
 

but i am not able to set the selected value from the drop down to input text.

Is there any way to get handle to inputText field ? if so, please share your valueable inputs.

Thanks,
Vidhya

vidhya, you are 10001 guy who bumps the head to this JSF stone. This behavior is absolutely expected from the JSF point of view.

Its the mischief of the converter... try adding following tag to your selectonemenu item...

<f:converter converterId="javax.faces.String"/>
