Hi Steve,
The issue is that the arrivingTransportType property below is marked as
being hidden="EVERYWHERE".
How this works internally is that the <action>s at the top of a fieldset
end up being associated with the first <property> in that fieldset; in
other words its as if there was an @MemberOrder(named=... ) annotation on
the action. It also adds a facet equivalent to @ActionLayout(position):
@MemberOrder(named="arrivingTransportType")
@Action()
@ActionLayout(position = ActionLayout.Position.PANEL)
public Attend changeTransportTypes( ... )
Because the arrivingTransportTypes is hidden, this ends up hiding the
action.
The solution in your case would be to reorder the properties:
<ns2:fieldSet name="Transport" id="transport">
<ns2:action id="changeTransportTypes">
<ns2:property id="arrivingTransportTypeName"
hidden="ALL_TABLES">
<ns2:named>Arriving</ns2:named>
</ns2:property>
<ns2:property
id="departingTransportTypeName"
hidden="ALL_TABLES">
<ns2:named>Departing</ns2:named>
</ns2:property>
<ns2:property id="arrivingTransportType"
hidden="EVERYWHERE" />
<ns2:property id="departingTransportType"
hidden="EVERYWHERE" />
</ns2:fieldSet>
Hope that helps,
Dan
