retrieve selectValues for h:selectOneMenu in editDialog

[georg]

Hi

I created a custom jsp/content/edit-content-properties.jsp for my model using <hutputText ../> and <h:inputText ../> tags. The model also have some LIST-constraints with values for the <h:selectOneMenu ../> tag.

I was able to retrieve the values for the <h:inputText>-tags using:

<h:inputText value='#{DialogManager.bean.editableNode.properties["my:field"]}'></h:inputText>
‍‍‍

But I don't know how to fetch the values for the selectItems for the <h:selectOneMenu../>-Tag

<h:selectOneMenu value='#{DialogManager.bean.editableNode.properties["my:status"]}'>
  <f:selectItems value='????' />
</h:selectOneMenu>
‍‍‍‍‍

Regards,

Georg

You'll need to write a custom managed bean (if you haven't already) that has a method that returns a List of SelectItem objects for each property you have. See CreateSpaceWizard.getTemplateSpaces() as an example.

You'll then need to use the data dictionary to get hold of the constraints object for the property and build up the list you need from the values. Have a look at TextFieldGenerator for an example of doing this.
