[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-6788) Cannot select null value with rich:inplaceSelect

[John Leed (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6788?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12462754#action_12462754 ] 

John Leed commented on RF-6788:
-------------------------------

Another effect I just noticed... since UIInput.validate() returns early, it never reaches the call to validateValue(). As such, the value is not checked if it is required or not.

In short, the required attribute on rich:inplaceSelect doesn't work because of this problem.

> Using rich:inplaceSelect with a SelectItems array with a null value as the first entry to make the selection optional. The rest of the SelectItems are objects and a label with a JSF converter on the class. If the value on the backing bean is not null when the page is first rendered and if the null (value="") item is selected, the bean value does not change on postback.
> Example:
> <h:outputText value="District:"/>
> <rich:inplaceSelect label="District" id="district" value="#{store.currentEntity.district}"
>     defaultLabel="Click to select" >
>     <f:selectItems value="#{district.selectOneItems}"/>
> </rich:inplaceSelect>
> The following works perfectly fine:
> <h:outputText value="District:"/>
> <h:selectOneMenu label="District" id="district" value="#{store.currentEntity.district}">
>     <f:selectItems value="#{district.selectOneItems}"/>
> </h:selectOneMenu>
