<s:select> converts the "listKey" to String before comparing to the Object in
"value"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-3140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-3140
Project: Struts 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Plugin - Tags
Affects Versions: 2.0.6
Environment: Jetty, all OS'es
Reporter: Jaron Schut
Trying to get a populated and preselected select tag to work. Well, countries
is a list of country objects and country is a singular object of the
preselected country. Data comes from hibernate so are identified by Long
objects:
<s:select list="countries" name="countryId" listKey="id"
listValue="displayLabel" value="country.id" />
Now the preselecting does not work because the tag converts the listKey, which
is a Long object to a string before calling the equals method on the Long
object in the value. So a Long object and a String object are never equal.
Changing the tag to:
<s:select list="countries" name="countryId" listKey="id"
listValue="displayLabel" value="%{country.id}" />
Still does not correctly preselect the value because struts2 call
Long.toString() 2 separate times and then compares the result by reference.
Which obviously is String != String.
Conclusion: <s:select> tag is not able to correctly compare 2 objects that are
the same nor correctly compare a single object because it creates 2 new strings
that apparently are not compared by value but only by reference?
PS: changing the tag to:
<s:select list="countries" name="countryCode" listKey="countryCode"
listValue="displayLabel" value="country.countryCode" />
Did work correctly. Since but the list of countries and the singular country
all come from hibernate. The tag ends up comparing 2 exactly the same
languageCode Strings (Same instance) to correctly.
