I'm trying to use autocompleter with struts 2.1.2 to replace a select
drop down with too many options, but on submission it seem autocompleter
submits the listValue rather than the listKey. (The same params work
fine with <s:select>, I've had this same issue since 2.0.11.x)
My jsp:
<sx:autocompleter id="auto" label="Group" name="user.group.id"
value="%{user.group.id}" list="%{#userAction.list}"
listKey="id" listValue="name"/>
Html Output:
<select dojoType="struts:ComboBox" id="auto" name="user.group.id"
keyName="user.group.idKey" visibleDownArrow="true"
onblur="validate(this);">
<option value="1">Group1</option>
<option value="2">Group2</option>
<option value="3">Group3</option>
...
</select>
When I submit the form I get this exception:
Unparseable number: "Group1" at position 0 - [unknown location]
at
com.opensymphony.xwork2.conversion.impl.XWorkBasicConverter.doConvertToN
umber(XWorkBasicConverter.java:411)
...
at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
ognl.MethodFailedException: Method "setId" failed for object
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
[java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: setId([Ljava.lang.String;)]
If I change the autocompleter parameters a little and swap
listKey/listValue, I can get the form to submit fine, but I only see the
id's in the drop down box, not the group names, like so:
<sx:autocompleter id="auto" label="Group" name="user.group.id"
value="%{user.group.id}" list="%{#userAction.list}"
listKey="name" listValue="id"/>
HTML Output:
<select dojoType="struts:ComboBox" id="auto" name="user.group.id"
keyName="user.group.idKey" visibleDownArrow="true"
onblur="validate(this);">
<option value="Group1">1</option>
<option value="Group2">2</option>
<option value="Group3">3</option>
...
</select>
My first assumption is to assume I'm doing something wrong (9 times out
of ten that's the reality :-). All the examples I've seen only use
simple text value submits to Strings in the action, but I'm trying to
populate a pojo which is property of a pojo (user.group.id) so I'm not
sure if under these circumstances I might need to do something else.
Does anyone know if there's anything I can do about this? Is it a bug?
Or am I doing something wrong? I've tried a lot of other combinations of
options but to no avail.
You guys are doing a cracking job, keep up the good work!
