I'm not finished investigating this yet, but my preliminary findings indicate that the solution (at least in my case) is to call dropdown.getModelObject() instead of dropdown.convertInput(). In the use cases I've tested so far, getModelObject() returns the correct value.
From: Paul Bors <p...@bors.ws> To: <users@wicket.apache.org> Date: 05/20/2013 11:35 AM Subject: RE: DropDownChoice in FormComponentPanel Simplest way I can think of is something like: @Override protected void onBeforeRender() { if(isValid()) { dropDown.getFormField().setDefaultModel(getDefaultModel()); } ... super.onBeforeRender(); } @Override protected void convertInput() { if(dropdown != null) { setConvertedInput(dropDown.getConvertedInput()); } ... } But it really depends on what your FormComponentPanel is wrapping and how you share its model among the child components. Refer to the Wicket Users Guide section 1.8 "Creating comples form components with FormComponentPanel": http://wicket.apache.org/learn/books/freeguide.html Or search the wiki pages: https://cwiki.apache.org/WICKET/creating-custom-formcomponentpanels-to-build -valid-objects-using-wickets-form-validation-logic.html ~ Thank you, Paul Bors -----Original Message----- From: Richard W. Adams [mailto:rwada...@up.com] Sent: Monday, May 20, 2013 8:10 AM To: users@wicket.apache.org Subject: DropDownChoice in FormComponentPanel I have a FormComponentPanel with both string fields & DropDownChoice controls. How do I get the drop downs' current selections from inside my override of convertInput()? I can get the string fields' values by calling the fields' convertInput() methods, but when I call convertInput() on the drop downs, I get the ORIGINAL value of the drop down, not the CURRENT value. I'm using Wicket 1.4.17 (version imposed by our corporate framework). I've looked at several different Wicket references, including Wicket in Action, Apache Wicket Cookbook & the new online free Wicket guide, but could not find this issue discussed. ** This email and any attachments may contain information that is confidential and/or privileged for the sole use of the intended recipient.
