selectOneMenu Dynamique values : If you want a dynamique selectOnMenu value you have to use <f:selectItems> whose value points to a List<T> property which you preserve from the DB during bean’s (post)construction. Here’s a basic kickoff example assuming that T actually represents a String.
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.name}">
<f:selectItems value="#{bean.names}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
With :
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class Bean {
private String name;
private List<String> names;
@EJB
private NameService nameService;
@PostConstruct
public void init() {
names = nameService.list();
}
// ... (getters, setters, etc)
}
Simple as that. Actually, the T‘s toString() will be used to represent both the dropdown item label and value. So, when you’re instead of List<String> using a list of complex objects like List<someEntity> and you haven’t overridden the class’ toString() method, then you would see com.example.SomeEntity@hashcode as item values. See next section how to solve it properly.
Also note that the bean for <f:selectItems> value does not necessarily need to be the same bean as the bean for <h:selectOneMenu> value. This is useful whenever the values are actually applicationwide constants which you just have to load only once during application’s startup. You could then just make it a property of an application scoped bean.
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.name}">
<f:selectItems value="#{data.names}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
If you have a list of Object you juste use these code :
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.objectV}">
<f:selectItems value="#{data.objects}" var="d" itemLabel="#{d.nom}" itemValue="#{d.id}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>
