I created a HashMapChoiceRenderer which extends ChoiceRenderer. I'm not sure if
this is the best way to go about it, but it worked for me to specifically set
the value with a set of checkboxes.
disclaimer : hotmail munches code, so you will want to throw this code into an
ide and format it.
Here is how I add my new component:
###
DropDownChoice groupSelect = new DropDownChoice(selectGroup, new
PropertyModel(this, selectGroup), userGroups, new HashMapChoiceRenderer())
{ /** * Every object will be a HashMap that has just one item. So, it * is
safe to grab the first item from the keySet iterator and * test with the
value persisted. * * @see
org.apache.wicket.markup.html.form.AbstractSingleSelectChoice#isSelected(java.lang.Object,
* int, java.lang.String) */�...@override protected boolean
isSelected(Object object, int index, String selected) { HashMapString,
String testee = (HashMapString, String) object; String id =
testee.keySet().iterator().next(); return
(id.equals(getSelectGroup())); }};
###
When Wicket calls your setter, it gives you a string that has both the id and
the value - a serialized view of the hashmap, so I did this with the setter
###/** * Added logic to look for the occurance of {
since the dropdown list * will usually supply {id=value} as a string. * *
@param sortListBy * the sortListBy to set */public void
setSortListBy(String sortListBy) { if (sortListBy != null
sortListBy.contains({)) this.sortListBy =
HashMapChoiceRenderer.getListSelectionValue(sortListBy); else
this.sortListBy = sortListBy;}
Here is the component
