Add @SelectItems for exporting a list or hash to a List<SelectItem> context variable ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-3596 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3596 Project: Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.1.0.CR1 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor Fix For: 2.1.1.CR1 Original Estimate: 4 hours Remaining Estimate: 4 hours There are times when the UI needs a collection of SelectItem objects, yet the business logic does not need to be aware of this requirement. Thus, we have a similar situation as with JSF data models. It would be helpful to have an annotation counterpart to @DataModel named @SelectItems that outjects a list or hash as a list of SelectItem objects. If the property's type is a list, the label is assumed to be the same as the value. If the property's type is a hash, the entry's key is the option value and the entry's value is the option label. @SelectItems List<String> options; @SelectItems Hash<String, String> options; In the case of a list, we could allow a label to be defined using path notation in an annotation property named labelPath. @SelectItems(labelPath = "name") List<User> users;
