[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - EL enhancement with Enums

[lcoetzee]

Hi,

we would like to use the EL enhancement which would allow us to send a Enum param back. allLanguagesManager is an arraylist containing all the enums:

  <t:dataList value="#{allLanguagesManager}" var="currentLanguage"
  | 			rendered="#{not empty allLanguagesManager}" id="dt1">
  | 			<h:column id="col">
  | 				<li>
  | 				    <s:link  action="#{userEnvironment.setLanguage(currentLanguage)}"  >
  | 					<h:outputText id="lang" value="#{currentLanguage}" 
  | 							converter="languageconverter" />
  | 					</s:link>		
  | 				</li>
  | 				
  | 			</h:column>
  | 		</t:dataList>

userEnvironment is a POJO with a public method:

  | public void setLanguage(LanguageEnum language) {
  | 		
  | 		if (null == language) logger.info("oops language is null");
  | 		logger.info("language class is of type" + language.getClass().toString());
  | 		logger.info("setting the language in userEnvironment");
  | 
  | .
  | .
  | 
For some reason the language param is null when the method gets invoked by Seam. If I change things around to send a literal string (and changing the pojo method) the literal is passed on to the method.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

L
