Re: Binding selection boxes to beans in cocoon forms?

2006-01-21 Thread Andre Cesta

Jason,

No problem putting this solution on the Wiki, except that I do not know how I 
could possibly edit
the wiki.  I think we could add 8 lines or so to the following page:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/WoodyDatatypeReference?highlight=%28selection-list%29

Also, please have a look at the Binding Framework documentation.  Search for 
setSelectionList on
it.  Did anybody manage to build a concrete example using that technique?  
Would you be able to
post some more snippets of it?  How are you setting the selected value from the 
list?

Best regards, Andre' Cesta

Just like everyone else-- create an account and start editing.  Start at 
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/About



I think we could add 8 lines or so to the following page:
http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/WoodyDatatypeReference?highlight=%28selection-list%29


Woody is deprecated so that page probably isn't the best place anymore. 
 I was thinking you could just add the page you created as a new page.




Also, please have a look at the Binding Framework documentation.  Search for 
setSelectionList on
it.  Did anybody manage to build a concrete example using that technique?

I have successfully used that setSelectionList method before, though not 
from within a binding.  You might have seen it already but see the 
following javadoc page has a clear description of how that method works: 
http://cocoon.apache.org/2.1/apidocs/org/apache/cocoon/forms/formmodel/Field.html#setSelectionList(java.lang.Object,%20java.lang.String,%20java.lang.String)

Re: Binding selection boxes to beans in cocoon forms?

2006-01-14 Thread Andre Cesta

Hi,

Managed to solve one of the problems so that the selection list now shows, but 
it shows empty. 
Still debugging why it shows empty when there is DB data loaded on the bean to 
display.

To get the selection list to show:

Hibernate required the method: 
 public void setRoomType(RoomType roomType) {
as shown below.

But for Cocoon I had to create the following overriden method
otherwise Cocoon would keep throwing:
  An Error Occurred
  Incorrect value type for data.roomType (expected class java.lang.Long, 
  got class
  br.com.hotelman.datatypes.RoomType).

//overriden method created for cocoon binding
public void setRoomTypeId(Long id) {
}

Also created the corresponding getter, 
and then changed the following:

fd:field id=roomTypeId required=true
  fd:datatype base=long/
  fd:selection-list type=flow-jxpath list-path=roomTypes 
label-path=description
value-path=id /
  fd:labelRoom type:/fd:label
/fd:field

To use roomTypeId (instead of roomType).  And also the

  fb:value id=roomTypeId path=roomTypeId/

And

   ft:widget-label id=roomTypeId/
   ft:widget id=roomTypeId/

Still working on why the selection list displays empty.

Kind regards, ANdre'
