Thanks again, Vangel!
I`m trying the simplest approach as described on the docs page (the choosing
colors example). But when the page renders, the form is displayed without
the select element.
If you could please have a look at my code, I`ll provide it here. I`ve kept
the domain in portuguese (my native language) to avoid any typos in the
transcription. But if necessary I could translate it.
The page class (NovoAtestado.java):
public class NovoAtestado {
@Property
private Atestado atestado;
@Property
private SelectModel contratanteSelectModel;
@Property
private Long selectedContratanteId = 1L;
...
void setupRender(){
List<Contratante> contratantes = contratanteDao.listaTodos();
contratanteSelectModel = selectModelFactory.create(contratantes,
"nome");
}
}
The page template (NovoAtestado.tml):
...
<t:beaneditform submitlabel="message:submit-label" object="atestado">
<t:select t:id="contratantes" value="selectedContratanteId"
model="contratanteSelectModel" />
</t:beaneditform>
...
The beaneditform main bean model (Atestado.java):
@Entity
public class Atestado {
@NonVisual
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy= GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
@ManyToOne
private Contratante contratante;
...
}
The ManyToOne model (Contratante.java)
@Entity
public class Contratante {
@NonVisual
@Id
@GeneratedValue(strategy=GenerationType.IDENTITY)
private Long id;
private String nome;
@Override
public String toString() {
return id.toString();
}
}
Do you notice anything wrong? Thank you.
