I figured out one way to do this, and it makes sense. All you need to
do is load a String[] with the single key values that you want
preselected. This is my getter for the UI:
public String[] getDocJobOpts() {
List djoList = Documentjoboption.getList(dbconn.getSession(),
curDocjob.getUid());
docJobOpts = new String[djoList.size()];
Iterator iter1 = djoList.iterator();
Documentjoboption djo;
int i = 0;
while (iter1.hasNext()) {
djo = (Documentjoboption) iter1.next();
docJobOpts[i] = djo.getOptionuid().toString();
i++;
}
return docJobOpts;
}
public void setDocJobOpts(String[] x) {
this.docJobOpts = x;
}
public List getDocumentMediaoptionsSMC() {
List moList =
Mediatypeoptionasc.getByMediatype(dbconn.getSession(),
curDocjob.getMediatypeuid());
List djoList = Documentjoboption.getList(dbconn.getSession(),
curDocjob.getUid());
List smcList = new Vector();
Mediaoption mo;
Iterator iter = moList.iterator();
SelectItem si;
while (iter.hasNext()) {
mo = (Mediaoption) iter.next();
si = new SelectItem(mo.getUid().toString(), mo.getName());
smcList.add(si);
}
return smcList;
}
<h:selectManyCheckbox id="options" layout="pageDirection"
value="#{MainCtl.docJobOpts}" styleClass="copy" >
<f:selectItems value="#{MainCtl.documentMediaoptionsSMC}" />
</h:selectManyCheckbox>
I am adding this to the archive to help others if they have the same problem.
