Hello Darren,
Good question! I see 2 problems here. Firstly, tr:selectItem represents a single item. I am not sure how to use it for a list of items. May be you can try with f:selectItems, whose value is a list of SelectItems. Secondly, to fetch the value for a given key from properties file, ResourceBundle.getString(key) is used. This returns only String objects. So, there's no way one can get an array or list. In your example, you get "London,Dublin,Glasgow" as a single item. To solve your problem, you need a list in your bean and a solution to the second problem. You can try any of the methods suggested on the related topic in Sun Developer Network (http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=666290&messageID=3974001 ). Hope this helps! ~Sandeep ________________________________ From: Darren McEntee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, August 23, 2007 9:16 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: [Trinidad] message.properties bundle for selectOneChoice, Hi guys, Quick question... I thought I seen this somewhere but can't seem to locate it now... I'm interested in populating the drop down values of a tr:selectOneChoice component with values in a message.properties bundle. This works great for single items like labels and naming convention values. But can a message.properties file contain a list, like a key-value pair with multiple values: i.e. SelectCity=London,Dublin,Glasgow <tr:selectOneChoice label="#{bundle.City}" disabled="#{extranet.mode}"> <tr:selectItem label="#{bundle.SelectCity}"/> </tr:selectOneChoice> Just wondering if this is possible...
