Hi,
Can someone give me a quick explanation on the intended usage pattern for
the stripes:checkbox checked attribute.
I feel like I'm fighting stripes somewhat when I use it so I might be
missing something.
I'm generating a list of checkboxes to manage a many to many relationship in
my db. I use the checked attribute to pre-check the checkboxes indicating
the current relationships when the page first loads. A preaction rounds up
the necessary data.
<table class="sortableResults">
<tr>
<th></th>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Enabled</th>
</tr>
<c:forEach var="role" items="${actionBean.allRoles}">
<tr>
<td><stripes:checkbox name="roleIds" value="${role}"
checked="${actionBean.systemReport.roles}"/></td>
<td>${role.name}</td>
<td>${role.enabled}</td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
This works fine, but if my action bean (to which this form submits) has a
getter for "roleIds" the checked attribute is ignored (as described in the
pre-population priority rules).
Problem:
1) I don't want to write code in my action bean to copy
${actionBean.systemReport.roles} into my roleIds array so I don't have a
getter for roleIds. This makes the checked attribute work.
2) Without the getter present. When no checkboxes are checked, stripes
nulls out the roleIds field in my action bean using the setter. By
default, I initialize it to an empty array. I want to work with the empty
array and not a null array if no checkboxes are checked.
I can obviously work-around either of these issues but the workarounds are
kludgy. I thought there might be something fundamentally wrong with the
approach I'm taking here..
