PropertySelection woes

["Reinier (Linux 2.2.12)" <re...@clabo.co.za>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to use a PropertySelection to allow a user to pick one item
from a list.  The contents of the list comes from a database.  I would
like to use the Object ID (primary key or row ID) from the database as
the value returned when I pick a certain string, instead of just a
simple int.

Is there an easy way to do that, or do I have to create my own
SelectionModel so that I can specify the value connected to each string
that I add to the PropertySelection?

Thanx in advance
reinier

The Vlib is a demo that deploys into JBoss.

However, you can cut-n-paste the entity selection model into your own code.

Thanks for this - just to confirm: I've been using Tomcat to play around
so far.  To use Vlib, it seems that I have to use JBoss - is this
right?  Or can I just change my vist class and engine to the vlib ones
and go?

Thanx

Hi,

You don't need to create your own model, you can use the 
EntitySelectionModel. Look in the API under the net.sf.tapestry.vlib 
package. EntitySelectionModel has an add method that takes an Integer 
(for the value/primary key) and a String (for the label).
