I am trying to write a generic behavior which needs to work for any DropDownChoice. I need to retrieve the selected option's display string. The problem is, much of the time I only store the ID (not the display), so using getModelObject() and running it through the DropDownChoice.getChoiceRenderer().getDisplayValue(T) does not work and only returns null. i.e. ddc.getChoiceRenderer().getDisplayValue(ddc.getModelObject());
I also cannot guarantee that the ID class's equals and hashcode functions will be implemented as expected, so this will not work: i.e. ddc.getChoices().get(ddc.getChoices().indexOf(ddc.getModelObject())); Is there a method I'm missing which I can call to return the dropdownchoice's display value of its internal list's selected option? Any other ideas?
