Programmatically Built selectOneChoice

Question

Hiiii,
I have a selectOneChoice element which is filled up programmatically with values not based on View Objects, I am trying to get the selected value also programmatically, but I am facing a problem. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I think statlist stands for static list, which contains all the values visible in the selectonechoice, defined in a bean.
I made a small example, this really should work:
1. I created a bean which stores:
- the static values
- the selected/submitted item
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
public class MyBean {
private String myAttribute;
private List myList;
public MyBean() {
myList = new ArrayList();
this.myList.add("EJB");
this.myList.add("ADF BC");
this.myList.add("TOPLINK");
public void setMyAttribute(String myAttribute) {
System.out.println("setMyAttribute: " + myAttribute);
this.myAttribute = myAttribute;
public String getMyAttribute() {
System.out.println("getMyAttribute");
return myAttribute;
public void setMyList(List myList) {
this.myList = myList;
public List getMyList() {
return myList;
2. On the jspx page I iterate over the list and set the current string as label and as value:
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{myBean.myAttribute}"
label="Technologies" autoSubmit="true">
<af:forEach items="#{myBean.myList}" var="li">
<af:selectItem label="#{li}" value="#{li}"/>
</af:forEach>
</af:selectOneChoice>
autoSubmit is set to true and the value of the submitted choice is stored in the myAttribute variable from the myBean bean.
I hope you succeed implementing this example, if not, feel free to ask.
