[appfuse-user] Drop-Down List

[Bandula Rathnasekara]

Hi all,

 

I want to add simple drop down list in a JSP page with my Struts2 web
application on AppFuse framework. I went through related post in web and
tried to do it with StartupListener class.

 

I created/modified following classes/jsp.

 

1.       Created Statuses POJO. 

Not used for the time being

 

2.       Constant

public static final String AVAILABLE_STATUSES =  "availableStatuses";

 

3.       StartupListner

context.setAttribute(Constants.AVAILABLE_STATUSES ,
mgr.getObjects(TaskStatuses.class));

 

4.       LookupManager

public List<LabelValue> getObjects(Class<TaskStatuses> name);

 

5.       LookupManagerImpl

public List<LabelValue> getObjects(Class<TaskStatuses> name) {

      List<LabelValue> list = new ArrayList<LabelValue>();

      list.add(new LabelValue("PENDING", "PENDING"));

      list.add(new LabelValue("OPEN", "OPEN"));

      list.add(new LabelValue("DONE", "DONE"));

      list.add(new LabelValue("HOLD", "HOLD"));

      return list;

}

 

6.       taskForm.jsp

<html:select property="status">  

      <html:options collection="availableStatuses" property="status"
labelProperty="name"/>  

</html:select>

 

 

 

I was struggling with this whole yesterday and I could not populate drop
down-list in my jsp. I don't even get error in JSP page. Is it do something
with tag libraries in? Any configuration XML file? Can you tell me where
else I need to change/correct. 

 

If anyone has sample code on this or a place where I can find them pls let
me know.

 

Thanks &Regards,

Bandula
