Thanks for the quick reply. But you answer doesn't make sense to me. Why do loadable models work for a text field but not a drop down? If I have "NY" stored in the database, New York is loaded onto the form but when the form is submitted the selected value of the drop down is not saved into the model. I'm trying to get the selected value stored into the Vendor object and a String not a SelectOption.
public class Vendor implements java.io.Serializable { private String state; two problems 1) loadable detachable models do not support the setobject() call, because they are...loadable. so you should use a different kind of model. 2) yes, selectoption object will be put into your model, dropdown choice works like this: DropDownChoice<T>(String id, IModel<T> model, IModel<List<T>> choices, IChoiceRenrerer<T> renderer) -igor -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/DropDownChoice-getting-value-into-the-model-tp15905486p15907046.html Sent from the Wicket - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
