I have a <stripes:select> that I'm using to provide a list of items to the
user using the <stripes:option-collection>.
When an item is selected in the list, some javascript is triggered that
adds some on-screen text to a table along with some hidden input tags that
get submitted with the page.
However, the actual value currently selected in the <stripes:select> isn't
important and I don't need or want it to be submitted. The only reason I'm
suing <stripes:select> is to take advantage of the collection population
feature.
The problem I'm having is that <stripes:select> requires a name.
If you leave the name blank like this...
<stripes:select name="">
<stripes:options-collection collection="${actionBean.itemList}" value="id"
label="display" />
</stripes:select>
...you get an error when you submit...
[DefaultActionBeanPropertyBinder] Could not bind property with name [] to
bean of type...
...followed by a NullPointerException.
However, if you give it a dummy name like this...
<stripes:select name="dummyName">
<stripes:options-collection collection="${actionBean.itemList}" value="id"
label="display" />
</stripes:select>
...you get a different error when the page loads...
[DefaultPopulationStrategy] Could not find property [dummyName] on ...
Obviously, out of the two choices, the second option is better because it
doesn't cause an exception, but I was wondering if other people are using
<stripes:select> this way and how they deal with the warnings/errors or if
they just ignore them.
I even tried this...
<select>
<stripes:options-collection collection="${actionBean.itemList}" value="id"
label="display" />
</select>
...but that throws an exception when the page loads...
net.sourceforge.stripes.exception.StripesJspException: Option tags must
always be contained inside a select tag.
