I have this working except for one problem. I get my <s:selectItems> populated in the "create form" but some "250-char-serialized-string" is save in the database for my "car" column. I am sure I am missing a converter somewhere but I don't know what or where it goes.
Your entityConverter works great. It takes my Entity ( SeamtestCars ) and builds the correct options as string. I am guessing hibernate is controlling the insert/update and it is not converting my "car" column to a string before inserting. Am I way off base? Any suggestion? Situation SEAM-GEN application with 2 tables: ( no foreign-key enabled ) Oracle Database 9i 1. SEAMTEST ( column called car ) PK= ID | 2. SEAMTEST_CARS ( id ) PK = ID | I have added the code as suggested in your example. IN: components.xml <!-- this will create the ejb objects for the selectItems --> | <framework:entity-query name="cars" ejbql="select d from SeamtestCars d" /> | IN: Seamtest.java @ManyToOne | private SeamtestCars car = new SeamtestCars(); | | getters and setters.... | IN: editSeamtest.jsp <h:selectOneMenu value="#{seamtestEditor.instance.car}" id="car"> | <s:selectItems value="#{cars.resultList}" var="car" label="#{car.name}" /> | <ec:convertEntity /> | </h:selectOneMenu> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4028138#4028138 Reply to the post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=posting&mode=reply&p=4028138 _______________________________________________ jboss-user mailing list jboss-user@lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/jboss-user
