I'm losing days with this strange problem, I double checked everything but my selectOneMenu simply doesn't works and I can't understand why.
So here are my codes:
My jsf
<p:selectOneMenu id="entityType"
value="#{entityBean.entity.type}"
style="width:240px;"
converter="entityTypeConverter"
valueChangeListener="#{entityBean.entityTypeListener}"
required="true">
<f:selectItems value="#{entityBean.typeList}"
var="et"
itemLabel="#{et.name}"
itemValue="#{et}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>
My converter:
@FacesConverter("entityTypeConverter")
public class EntityTypeConverter implements Converter {
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
if (value == null || value.length() == 0) {
return null;
}
Long id = Long.parseLong(value);
return EntityType.findEntityType(id);
}
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
return value instanceof EntityType ? ((EntityType) value).getId().toString() : "";
}
}
It works as expected when I'm creating (it passes the selected value), but when I try to edit the entity the selected type actually never gets selected. I tried with primefaces 3.1.1 and 3.2 but I can't get the selected value when in view/edit mode.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance!
