BeanEditForm with custom drop down.

[spamglik <sp...@gmail.com>]

Hi

I would like to create dropdown for my own class and I find it a bit
difficult.
I find some howtos on 

http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5HowToCreateAPropertyEditBlock

but it is still a bit unclear as well the examples are no longer available. 

I am using BeanEditForm to display Task form :

<t:beaneditform bean="task" object="task">
            
</t:beaneditform>

while class Task is :

public class Task {

	public String title;
	public Priority priority;
	public User owner;
	public User assignee;
	public String text;

(...)

Also using tutorial mention aboved I create :
public class AppPropertyEditBlocks , 
services/AppPropertyEditBlocks.tml ,
public class DropDownList
and update AppModule ...

I did not understand what is ValueSelectModel  used for and how to use it. I
also do not have a clue how to tell beanEditForm that it would use this
component?

Anybody have a clue or an example?

kind regards
Mateusz

Walk before you run.
 
Start with a "simple" select in a simple form, using a list of values to
give you your <select>.

Then take a look at:
http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5SelectObject
also take a look at the references therein.  There is also another Wiki
entry: http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5AnotherSelectWithObjects

I'm not sure if those are totally up-to-date, but they should get you close.


After reading those, you should be able to get a form rendering using a list
of your custom objects.

THEN you can move on to incorporating that into BeanEditForm.
