Hi everyone! I have a question regarding the IChoiceRenderer interface. As I can guess a regular usage of the DropDownChoice is to bind it to some bean property (somehow probably by means of the PropertyModel). So lets take an example. I have a picker of something that is an integer by nature by has a human readable label. I have several options. I can provide a choice renderer which will look up in a map (in a generic case) to find a proper text for the item being rendered. But it's not an efficient. Next option is to create a key-value pair to handle both. It's efficient because the list of choices can be precreated. But my bean has an integer property and even in case if I provide a specific converter for that pair in one direction (probably a proxy model) I cannot provide a setter just because the DropDownChoice will do a lookup in its choices for a pair to retrieve using a given integer as a parameter (it calls indexOf). I can provide my own implementation of equals method but indexOf will try to call equals on a provided integer (not on a pair). I can wrap an integer parameter and this way reverse a comparison... but finally once the DropDownChoice will find a proper choice in its list it will take an index and call a renderer with this index and my integer wrapper!! :) The third option is to use an option index to link both the value and its textual representation. I like this solution BUT the IChoiceRenderer in its getDisplayValue method does not accept an index (getIdValue does). Amassing puzzle! :) Any ideas?
