b:SelectOneMenu Converter

[bernardomk]

Hi,

I have a SelectOneMenu with filled with a Collection using f:selectItems. I added a single f:selectItem to have a message: "Please Select One" as this is gonna be a master / detail cascade.

The problem is that it is passing a String or Integer or whatever and I have not been able to set a converter to the b:SelectOneMenu.

Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

Your bug might be solved by the pull request I've accepted yesterday. I didn't test it yet as thoroughly as I wanted to, but the first impression is positive. Do you want to give it a try yourself? Grab BootsFaces-0.9.2-SNAPSHOT from Maven Central (see #369 on how to get it).

Hey,

Don't think it's a bug, look:

<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select One" itemValue="" noSelectionOption="true" />

Setting noSelectionOption to true solved the problem! Still no converter needed!

I've used both f:selectItem and f:selectItems in a single radio button (see http://www3.bootsfaces.net/Showcase/forms/RadioButton.jsf). That's a different component, but it uses the same method to collect the selectItems, so this should also work with comboboxes. However, I didn't try converters yet.
