selectOneRadio validation error
I have a jsf page which has a series of questions on it, each with radio
select for the answers. Each of the questions uses the same set of answers
( Agree . Disagree, Neutral ). Since so many of the possible answer sets
repeat themselves I just put a method in the backing bean that returns an
array of SelectItem with the choices in it.
This approach only works if the user only answers one question. If more
than one question is answered (the user selects a radio button for more than
one question) then a validation error occurs. Each of the
<h:selectOneRadio> tags has a unique id. Also each of the <f:selectItem>
tags have a unique id, even though they call back to the same backing method
for the choices. In the backing bean method a new array is created and
returned each time for the choices. I even tested creating a new method
that returns an array of of SelectItem for the choices and had exactly the
same issue.
If I change the code and put the <f:selectItem> tags directly inline in the
code instead of calling the backing bean for an array of selectItems , then
everything works like it should. I am very lost as to why I can not use the
<f:selectItems> functionality more than once in a page. Here is a piece of
the code:
<tr><td><h:outputText value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q3answers"
value="#{assessment.q3}">
<f:selectItems id="q3list"
value="#{assessment.currentQuestionAnswers}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td><h:outputText
value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q4answers"
value="#{assessment.q4}">
<f:selectItems id="q4list"
value="#{assessment.currentQuestionAnswers}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
You can see that each time I want a list of answers I call the
currentQuestionAnswers method of the backing bean. The page displays
correctly, and like stated above, the user can select an answer to one of
the questions, but if the user answers both questions there is a validation
error everytime. Any ideas? Help is greatly appreciated!

Have you looked at layout=spread and see if that would help.

Re: selectOneRadio validation error
Posted by Scott Carter <ca...@gmail.com>.
There is not a stack trace shown in the log. The see the errors on the page
from the <h:messages> tag. The errors on the page look like the following:
- mainForm:q1answers: Validation Error: Value is not valid
- mainForm:q4answers: Validation Error: Value is not valid
- mainForm:q5answers: Validation Error: Value is not valid
I changed the method to return a list instead of an array and got the same
result. Any other ideas on what this could be? Here is the new method
which returns the list:
public List<SelectItem> getCurrentQuestionAnswers()
{
Question currentQuestion = this.questionList.get(questionCount);
int qWeight = currentQuestion.getQuestionWeight();
List<SelectItem> answers = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
answers.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight) , "SA"));
answers.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - (qWeight / 5))
, "A"));
answers.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight / 5)
* 2)), "N"));
answers.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight / 5)
* 3)) , "D"));
answers.add(new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight / 5)
* 4)) , "SD"));
this.questionCount++;
return answers;
}

Just for kicks, could you change your getter to return a List<SelectItem>
instead of SelectItem[]?

Re: selectOneRadio validation error
Posted by Scott Carter <ca...@gmail.com>.
I am not sure I follow, what setter are you looking for? Below is the
method that creates the array, and this is the code on the jsf page:
<tr><td><h:outputText value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q3answers"
value="#{assessment.q3}" layout="spread">
<f:selectItems id="q3list"
value="#{assessment.*currentQuestionAnswers*}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
<tr><td><h:outputText value="#{assessment.currentQuestionText}" /></td></tr>
<tr><td><h:selectOneRadio id="q4answers"
value="#{assessment.q4}" layout="spread">
<f:selectItems id="q4list"
value="#{assessment.*currentQuestionAnswers*}"/>
</h:selectOneRadio>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
Thank you for the help, just really lost as to why this would not work if
there is more than one question on a page.

How about the setter?

Re: selectOneRadio validation error
Posted by Scott Carter <ca...@gmail.com>.
So here is the method that returns the selectItem list. Each time it
creates a new array. Do you still think this might be the issue? I am
really lost on this one:
public SelectItem[] getCurrentQuestionAnswers()
{
Question currentQuestion = this.questionList.get(questionCount);
int qWeight = currentQuestion.getQuestionWeight();
SelectItem[] answers = new SelectItem[5];
answers[0] = new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight) , "SA");
answers[1] = new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - (qWeight /
5)) , "A");
answers[2] = new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight /
5) * 2)), "N");
answers[3] = new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight /
5) * 3)) , "D");
answers[4] = new SelectItem(Integer.toString(qWeight - ((qWeight /
5) * 4)) , "SD");
this.questionCount++;
return answers;
}
This method does declare a new array each time

I think you may need to use different methods in the backing bean to return
the selectitems. Each question should have it's own instance of the
selectItemList. You can use a factory to return the different instances of
the same list.
