Hi Jakob,

My domain class uses Character.
How can I generate values of type Character in <f:selectItem>?

Thanks,

Rafael Santini

Hi Rafael,

You have to use String instead of Character for the option property in 
Bean,
because <f:selectItem> generates a String value for itemValue="A".

If you really want to use a Character though, you have to make sure that
<f:selectItem> generates values of type Character and also provide a
Character-converter for <h:selectOneMenu>.

Hi,

I can't figure out why "value is not valid" is throwed. I'm using
myfaces-core-1.1.7.

Test case:

<h:form>
 <h:outputText value="Option:"/>
 <h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.option}" id="option">
  <f:selectItem itemValue="A" itemLabel="A"/>
  <f:selectItem itemValue="B" itemLabel="B"/>
  <f:selectItem itemValue="C" itemLabel="C"/>
 </h:selectOneMenu>
 <h:message for="option"/>
 <h:commandButton value="Test" action="#{bean.test}"/>
</h:form>

public class Bean {

  private Character option = 'A';

  public Character getOption() {
      return option;
  }

  public void setOption(Character option) {
      this.option = option;
  }

  public void test() {
      System.out.println(option);
  }

}

This is a bug? What I'm missing?

Thanks,
