I have an application with a page that contains some text boxes (WOTextField) and some popups (WOPopup). Normally this page is brought up with nothing filled in by creating a new (empty) object of the class Entry, but I can also bring it up by setting the Entry object to one from my database. The WOTextFields display correctly because they are bound to particular fields in the Entry object, e.g. entry.title. The popups, however, never display the entryType value in the Entry object. Here are the bindings for one of the popups.
displayString entryTypeItem.name item entryTypeItem This is an EntryType object list availableEntryTypes This is a list of EntryType objects noSelectionString "None" selection entry.entryType entry is an Entry object; entry.entryType is an EntryType object Now, I understand that when the user chooses a value in the popup, that value gets stored in the entryType field of the Entry object, because of the selection binding. But what I have is the entryType already set. I expected the popup to show that entry, but it always shows the top entry in the list, None, as selected. I tried using the selectedValue attribute instead, but that made no difference. I turned WODebug on for this popup and the log entries show that the selection attribute has the correct EntryType. The EntryType class has a name field, and that's what is displayed in the popup. But how is the system supposed to know how to compare the selection attribute's value with each of the EntryTypes in the list? Does it just do something like entry.entryType.equals(entryTypeItem)? If I replace all references to EntryType with just Strings, this works OK, but I's rather have the EbtryTypes in there. Can you tell me how I am supposed to pre-populate the popups? Thanks.
