JSP page modifications

[soeursourire]

Hi!

I got into troubles while adding a field "pays" and /or a listbox "userNames" in person-properties.jsp. Here is what I am doing and the error I have while opening this page. Please tell me what I am doing wrong or what I am missing?

- I create a sub-class MyNewUserWizard
- Inside I added two attributes :
-            protected String pays = null;
-            protected static List<SelectItem> userNames = null;
- I initialize this list as follow:
-             this.userNames= new ArrayList<SelectItem>(8);
-             userNames.add(new SelectItem("soso", "Sophie"));
-             userNames.add(new SelectItem("charlot","Charlot"));
- I added this listbox in my jsp page as follow:
- <tr>
        <td>
        <div style="padding:4px">
        <h:selectOneListbox id="userNames" style="width:250px" size="5">
        <f:selectItems value="#{MyNewUserWizard.userNames}" />
        </h:selectOneListbox>
        </div>
        </td>
   </tr>
- And I would like to use MyNewUserWizard instead of NewUserWizard
- But how can I do to modify <h:input value = #(NewUserWizard.email) How can I use MyNewUserWizard.setEmail() here?
- I added "pays" in ContentModel.xml and I added a manage-bean MyNewUserWizard in faces-config.xml
- But I still have the following error while opening the page:
-       javax.portlet.PortletException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Bean: org.alfresco.web.bean.wizard.MyNewUserWizard, propertyays

Please tell me what is wrong here?
Thanks in advance

I forgot but I also tried like this:
- I created a MyCustomModel.xml where I added this aspect:
<aspects>
      <aspect name="customays">
         <title>Department</title>
         <properties>
            <property name="customays">
               <type>d:int</type>
            </property>
         </properties>
      </aspect>
   </aspects>

- And I added it in extension-context.xml…

Do you have a getPays() method in your sub-class?

[soeursourire]

Yes I do.

[soeursourire]

Ah but it was in protected that's why it was not working.
Thanks!

But now the problem I have is to add a menu box to my page, I have the following error:

javax.portlet.PortletException: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Value binding '#{MyNewUserWizard.names}'of UISelectItems with component-path {Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: /jsp/wizard/new-user/my_person-properties.jsp][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlForm,Id: person-props][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlSelectOneMenu,Id: handleMetaDataEvent_id25][Class: javax.faces.component.UISelectItems,Id: handleMetaDataEvent_id26]} does not reference an Object of type SelectItem, SelectItem[], Collection or Map but of type : null

Do you know what is this error?

Thanks.

And in users.jsp how does this code work?

<r:nodePath value="#{r.homeSpace}" disabled="true" showLeaf="true" />

Where is defined homeSpace? I cannot find it anywhere in code?

Thanks for help

[soeursourire]

arggg… help!

This init() function of NewUserWizard is called in startWizardForEdit but where is called this startWizardForEdit??

[gavinc]

Wizards are launched via an actionListener attribute on an action link, these are defined in the relevant JSP. For example the new space wizard is launched from browse.jsp with the following:

<a:actionLink value="#{msg.new_space}" image="/images/icons/create_space.gif" padding="4" action="createSpace" actionListener="#{NewSpaceDialog.startWizard}" id="link1" />‍

Or to start a wizard in edit mode you would use:

actionListener="#{NewSpaceDialog.startWizardForEdit}"‍

When iterating through lists of stuff "r" represents each individual node, which in turn is basically a Map of properties. Therefore r.homeSpace represents a property in a map. If you look at org.alfresco.web.bean.users.UsersBean you'll find the following line:

props.put("homeSpace", homeFolderNodeRef);‍

And you final question, this error is because you are not returning a List of SelectItem objects from your getNames() method.

Hope this all helps.

Thanks for your help.
So that means that if I want to display "pays" for each user in users.jsp and thus use r.pays I should add this code somewhere:

props.put("pays", paysNodeRef);

It seems that these homeSpace, userName, fullName …etc are not all defined in the same class, is it normal? How do I choose where to define my property?

And for the error on menu, I have already the function getNames():
public  List<SelectItem> getNames()
  {
     return this.userNames;
  }

I think the problem is that I define a sub_class of NewUserWizard, then inside I added the attributes userNames and userName and I rewrote the function init() that is called in startWizardForEdit and this startWizardForEdit is called in users.jsp but not in person-properties.jsp (where I am trying to add this menu) so I guess this function is never called and thus my list is null…?

Thanks again
