Hi Guys,
I have an ArrayList of say Car models which we are displaying on a page.
The status field of the model sets the default value of a select
dropdown using a <s:select> tag on the page. When I go to update the
status we can't seem to get type conversion working.....the id of the
collection object returned is always null...and when we try the below
with %{car.id}) it gives us a null error on the setProperty for status.
<s:select list="#{'ok':'ok',
'cancelled':'cancelled','complete':'complete'}"
name="carList(%{car.id}).status"
value="%{status}"/>
Our bean has the following with apprropriate getters and setters:
.
.
@Entity
@Table(name = "tblCar")
public class Car extends BaseObject implements Serializable {
protected long id=-1; protected String status;.
.
.
Our Action class has a list called carList:
.
.
public class MyCarAction extends BaseAction {
private List <Car>carList = new ArrayList();
public List<Car> getCarList() {
return this.carList;
}
public void setCarList(List<Car> carList) {
this.carList = carList;
}
.
.
Our conversion file MyCarAction-conversion.properties contains:
KeyProperty_carList=id
Element_carList=CreateIfNull_carList=true
Our iterator in jsp page is:
<s:iterator value="carList" id="carBean">
<tr>
<td><s:property value="dateApplied"/></td>
<td><s:property value="job.jobTitle"/></td>
<td>
<s:select list="#{'Submitted':'Submitted',
'Reply Received':'Reply
Received','Interview':'Interview','Closed':'Closed'}"
name="carList(%{carBean.id}).status"
value="%{status}"/>
</td>
</tr>
</s:iterator>
Any help appreciated,
Yours Sincerely,
Andrew
