Sorry to hijack the thread, but I've been having slightly different
issues with the select tag and a Map as the option list source. As
you mentioned, the docs state "If the list is a Map (key, value), the
Map key will become the option 'value' parameter and the Map value
will become the option body." However, it appears that the reverse is
occurring for a given tag like:
<@s.select labelposition='top' id='resourceType' label='Resource type'
name='resourceType' list='%{resourceTypes}' emptyOption='true'
cssClass="required" />
where resourceTypes is a Map of Strings to an enum type. When this
gets rendered the enum (value) is put in the option value parameter
and the String key is put in the option body.
It's easily fixed by reversing the mapping, but just wanted to ask in
case the docs are wrong or there's a bug in the code.
Thanks!
