I am trying to populate a SelectInputText (auto-complete) field for when a user edits a record. The SelectInputText works fine however I need the current value to be displayed when a user goes in to edit the record. I have followed the advice from this thread: http://www.icefaces.org/JForum/posts/list/3718.page But get a NullPointer as my method can't find the JSF component. My JSF page has a form (<h:form id="scheduleDate">) and in that form is the SelectInputText component (<ice:selectInputText id="unlocode"...) My code to populate this component is: | //Set the list of matches to the incoming value | selectList.add(new SelectItem(scheduleDate.getUnLocode(), scheduleDate.getUnLocode().getName())); | | //Find the JSF component from the page | SelectInputText sit = (SelectInputText)FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("scheduleDate:unlocode"); | | //Set the selected item on the component (this is where the null pointer occurs | sit.setSelectedItem(scheduleDate.getUnLocode().getLocode()); | sit.setValue(scheduleDate.getUnLocode()); | Am I correct in the notation of "scheduleDate:unlocode"? Has anyone got a working example of this sort of thing? Thanks, Damian. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4024688#...
