html:option tag with jbo:RowSetIterate

Question

Hi
I am trying to build a list box using the following code.
<html:select property="providerTypeId">
<html:option value=""> </html:option>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO">
<html:option value="<jbo:ShowValue datasource='PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO' dataitem='ProviderTypeId' />"> <jbo:ShowValue datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderType" />-<jbo:ShowValue datasource="PModule.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderTypeDesc" /> </html:option>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
</html:select>
-- The list box builds like this
<option value="<jbo:ShowValue datasource="P.ProviderTypeLuVO" dataitem="ProviderTypeId" />">10-PHYSICIAN, M.D</option>
The value is not retrieved from the ShowValue tag.
Can some one help on this issue.
Thanks

Answer 1

Do you have the taglib correct at the top of the page ?
i.e.
<%@ taglib uri="/webapp/DataTags.tld" prefix="jbo" %>
Rather than the ShowValue tag I tend to use the Row tag to have the row as an object on which I can call the getAttribute method to then populate the combo / list box.
e.g.
<select name="recallPriorityCode">
<option value="">
</option>
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="spds">
<jbo:Row id="sprow" datasource="spds" action="Current" />
<%
String priorityCode = sprow.getAttribute("PriorityCode").toString();
String priorityDescription = sprow.getAttribute("PriorityDescription").toString();
%>
<option value="<%= priorityCode %>">
<%= priorityDescription %>
</option>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
</select>
Hope this helps.
