Tab (\t) character in a DropDownChoice value causes the returned selected value to be null ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-2043 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-2043 Project: Wicket Issue Type: Bug Components: wicket Affects Versions: 1.4-RC1 Environment: Window Vista 64-bit, javac 1.6.0_10, BEA weblogic 10.3 Reporter: Marcin Palka Priority: Minor I use a DropDownChoice with a model of SelectOption objects and a ChoiceRenderer (see code below). This is how I create a DropDownChoice instance: DropDownChoice separatorDropDown = new DropDownChoice( "separatorDropDown", new PropertyModel(this, "separator"), //separator is a field in my class new Model(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(separators))), //separators is an array of SelectOption objects choiceRenderer); This is how the SelectOption looks like: class SelectOption implements Serializable { private String key; private String value; public SelectOption(String key, String value) { this.key = key; this.value = value; } public String getKey() { return key; } public void setKey(String key) { this.key = key; } public String getValue() { return value; } public void setValue(String value) { this.value = value; } @Override public String toString() { return getKey(); } } And this is how choiceRenderer looks like ChoiceRenderer choiceRenderer = new ChoiceRenderer("key", "value"); These are the values that my model consist of: private SelectOption[] separators = new SelectOption[]{ new SelectOption("comma", ","), new SelectOption("semicolon ", ";"), new SelectOption("dot", "."), new SelectOption("tab", "\t"), //causes null new SelectOption("tabandtex", "\ttext"), //causes null new SelectOption("space", " ")}; Whenever any item containing a \t (tab character) in its value field is selected, the separator field that PropertyModel points to becomes null. Otherwise correct SelectOption instance is being set into separator. I noticed that tab characters are missing from the output markup generated by wicket. <select wicket:id="separatorDropDown" ...> <option selected="selected" value=",">comma</option> <option value=";">semicolon </option> <option value=".">dot</option> <option value=" ">tab</option> <option value=" text">tabandtex</option> <option value=" ">space</option> </select> This is complete code: Markup part: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> <html xmlns:wicket> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"/> <title>BuggyPage</title> </head> <body> <div> Separator <select wicket:id="separatorDropDown">Separator</select> </div> <div wicket:id="separatorLabel">separatorLabel</div> </body> </html> and Java code: import java.io.Serializable; import java.util.ArrayList; import java.util.Arrays; import org.apache.wicket.PageParameters; import org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget; import org.apache.wicket.ajax.form.AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.WebPage; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.basic.Label; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.form.ChoiceRenderer; import org.apache.wicket.markup.html.form.DropDownChoice; import org.apache.wicket.model.Model; import org.apache.wicket.model.PropertyModel; /** * * @author Marcin Pałka (marcin.pa...@comarch.com) */ public final class BuggyPage extends WebPage { //default separator private SelectOption defaultSeparator = new SelectOption("comma", ","); //current separator private SelectOption separator = defaultSeparator; //separators private SelectOption[] separators = new SelectOption[]{ new SelectOption("comma", ","), new SelectOption("semicolon ", ";"), new SelectOption("dot", "."), new SelectOption("tab", "\t"), //causes null new SelectOption("tabandtex", "\ttext"), //causes null new SelectOption("space", " ")}; Label separatorLabel = new Label("separatorLabel", "Separator is " + separator); public BuggyPage(PageParameters params) { separatorLabel.setOutputMarkupId(true); ChoiceRenderer choiceRenderer = new ChoiceRenderer("key", "value"); DropDownChoice separatorDropDown = new DropDownChoice( "separatorDropDown", new PropertyModel(this, "separator"), new Model(new ArrayList(Arrays.asList(separators))), choiceRenderer); // Enable Ajax-based choice separatorDropDown.add(new AjaxFormComponentUpdatingBehavior("onchange") { @Override protected void onUpdate(AjaxRequestTarget target) { //whenever the \t or \tsomething is selected, //the separator instance is null here. //This applies to any value that contains a backslash String separatorLabelText = "New separator is " + separator; Label newLabel = new Label("separatorLabel", separatorLabelText); newLabel.setOutputMarkupId(true); separatorLabel.replaceWith(newLabel); separatorLabel = newLabel; target.addComponent(newLabel); } }); add(separatorDropDown); add(separatorLabel); } class SelectOption implements Serializable { private String key; private String value; public SelectOption(String key, String value) { this.key = key; this.value = value; } /** * @return the key */ public String getKey() { return key; } /** * @param key the key to set */ public void setKey(String key) { this.key = key; } /** * @return the value */ public String getValue() { return value; } /** * @param value the value to set */ public void setValue(String value) { this.value = value; } @Override public String toString() { return getKey(); } } } -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
