thanks for replying. Looks like it still put the value in the choices object. Maybe I am describing the issue incorrectly.
so if put value in the choices object , construct the DropDownChoice and override localizeDisplayValues DropDownChoice<String> selector = new DropDownChoice<String>(fieldName, choices){ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; @Override protected boolean localizeDisplayValues() { return true; } }; then it wont support i18n when executing below code of AbstractChoice.class /** * Generates and appends html for a single choice into the provided buffer * * @param buffer * Appending string buffer that will have the generated html appended * @param choice * Choice object * @param index * The index of this option * @param selected * The currently selected string value */ @SuppressWarnings("unchecked") protected void appendOptionHtml(AppendingStringBuffer buffer, E choice, int index, String selected) { T objectValue = (T)renderer.getDisplayValue(choice); Class<T> objectClass = (Class<T>)(objectValue == null ? null : objectValue.getClass()); String displayValue = ""; if (objectClass != null && objectClass != String.class) { final IConverter converter = getConverter(objectClass); displayValue = converter.convertToString(objectValue, getLocale()); } else if (objectValue != null) { displayValue = objectValue.toString(); } buffer.append("\n<option "); if (isSelected(choice, index, selected)) { buffer.append("selected=\"selected\" "); } if (isDisabled(choice, index, selected)) { buffer.append("disabled=\"disabled\" "); } buffer.append("value=\""); buffer.append(Strings.escapeMarkup(renderer.getIdValue(choice, index))); buffer.append("\">"); String display = displayValue; if (localizeDisplayValues()) { *display = getLocalizer().getString(displayValue, this, displayValue);* } CharSequence escaped = display; if (getEscapeModelStrings()) { escaped = escapeOptionHtml(display); } buffer.append(escaped); buffer.append("</option>"); } the bold line is using getString and here displayValue should be the key not the value. -- Sent from: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/Users-forum-f1842947.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
