Struts combo box

I have a combo box defined in JSP.
So when I submit the page with multiple values selected in thsi combo box, I get "argument type mismatch exception" for the setter method defined in actionForm for this combo box. This method has a return type "Collection". Where do you think I am going wrong? What should be the return type here? I had String before but with I could get only the one value from the combo box
(i.e first selected value).

Yeah I got it, thanks. But why does it not take any other collections like Arraylist etc??

<%
for (int index = 18; index < 56; index++) %>

what you need is field "value" in the select:

Populating Database values into a combo box in STRUTS Framework

Hi Guys,
I am currently working on a STRUTS Framework project and I can't get much resources related to the problems that I'm facing.
Currently I need to populate a JSP file's Combo box with database values. What I don't know here is the syntax used to in STRUTS framework to populate the Combo box with database values. Anyone with experience related to this topic, please kindly help me out.

Struts doesn't define anything about the datab layer. You're free to implement how you will.
Struts instead guides you into following an MVC pattern.
You populate a combo box with values from a bean.
So you need to set up a bean for this page to talk to.
That bean can be populated from the database - but at that point you're in java/jdbc code - and away from the struts layer.
My suggestions
1 - Define a bean to represent the information from the database.
2 - write a method that queries the database, and copies the data into a List of those beans. This will be your Data access layer.
3 - in your action, call that method, and then set the list of beans as a request attribute. Or maybe as a property on a form.
4 - use that list of beans to populate your dropdown box.

How to populate data in the data table on combo box change event

hi
i am deepak .
i am very new to JSF.
my problem is i want to populate data in the datatable on the combo box change event.
for example ---
combo box has name of the city. when i will select a city
the details of the city should populate in the datatable. and if i will select another city then the datatable should change accordingly..
its urgent
reply as soon as possible
thanks in advance

i am using Rational Application Developer to develop my application.
i am using a combo box and i am assigning cityName from the SDO.
and i am declaring a variable in the pageCode eg.
private String cityName;
public void setCityName(String cityName){
this.cityName = cityName;
public String getCityName(){
return cityName;
<h:selectOneMenu id="menu1" styleClass="selectOneMenu" value="#{pc_Test1.loginID}" valueChangeListener="#{pc_Test1.handleMenu1ValueChange}">
                    <f:selectItems
                         value="#{selectitems.pc_Test1.usercombo.LOGINID.LOGINID.toArray}" />
               </h:selectOneMenu>
               <hx:behavior event="onchange" target="menu1" behaviorAction="get"
                    targetAction="box1"></hx:behavior>
and also i am declaring a requestParam type variable named city;
and at the onChangeEvent i am writing the code
public void handleMenu1ValueChange(ValueChangeEvent valueChangedEvent) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Map requestScope = ext.getApplication().createValueBinding("#{requestScope}").getValue(context);
requestScope.put("login",(String)valueChangedEvent.getNewValue());
and also i am creating another SDO which is used to populate data in datatable and in this SDO in the where clause i am using that requestParam .
it is assigning value in the pageCode variable and in the requestParam but it is not populating the dataTable. i don't no why??
it is possible that i may not clear at this point.
please send me the way how my problem can be solved.
thanks in advance

How to Bind a Combo Box so that it retrieves and display content corresponding to the Id in a link table and populates itself with the data in the main table?

I am developing a desktop application in Wpf using MVVM and Entity Frameworks. I have the following tables:
1. Party (PartyId, Name)
2. Case (CaseId, CaseNo)
3. Petitioner (CaseId, PartyId) ............. Link Table
I am completely new to .Net and to begin with I download Microsoft's sample application and
following the pattern I have been successful in creating several tabs. The problem started only when I wanted to implement many-to-many relationship. The sample application has not covered the scenario where there can be a any-to-many relationship. However
with the help of MSDN forum I came to know about a link table and managed to solve entity framework issues pertaining to many-to-many relationship. Here is the screenshot of my application to show you what I have achieved so far.
And now the problem I want the forum to address is how to bind a combo box so that it retrieves Party.Name for the corresponding PartyId in the Link Table and also I want to populate it with Party.Name so that
users can choose one from the dropdown list to add or edit the petitioner.

Hello Barry,
Thanks a lot for responding to my query. As I am completely new to .Net and following the pattern of Microsoft's Employee Tracker sample it seems difficult to clearly understand the concept and implement it in a scenario which is different than what is in
the sample available at the link you supplied.
To get the idea of the thing here is my code behind of a view vBoxPetitioner:
<UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vBoxPetitioner"

</HeaderedContentControl.Header>
<ListBox BorderThickness="0" SelectedItem="{Binding Path=CurrentPetitioner, Mode=TwoWay}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=tblParties}" />
</HeaderedContentControl>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
This part is working fine as it loads another view that is vPetioner perfectly in the manner I want it to be.
Here is the code of vmPetitioner, a ViewModel:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System.Collections.ObjectModel
Imports System
Imports CCIS.Model.Party
Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case
''' <summary>

Private petitioner As tblParty
''' <summary>
''' Initializes a new instance of the EmailViewModel class.
''' </summary>
''' <param name="detail">The underlying Email this ViewModel is to be based on</param>
Public Sub New(ByVal detail As tblParty)
If detail Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
End If
Me.petitioner = detail
End Sub
''' <summary>
''' Gets the underlying Email this ViewModel is based on
''' </summary>
Public Overrides ReadOnly Property Model() As tblParty
Get
Return Me.petitioner
End Get
End Property
''' <summary>
''' Gets or sets the actual email address

Public Property fldPartyId() As String
Get
Return Me.petitioner.fldPartyId
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.petitioner.fldPartyId = value
Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldPartyId")
End Set
End Property
End Class
End Namespace
And below is the ViewMode vmParty which vmPetitioner Inherits:
Imports Microsoft.VisualBasic
Imports System
Imports System.Collections.Generic
Imports CCIS.Model.Case
Imports CCIS.Model.Party
Imports CCIS.ViewModel.Helpers
Namespace CCIS.ViewModel.Case

'''' <summary>
'''' Gets the underlying ContactDetail this ViewModel is based on

''' <summary>
''' Gets or sets the name of this department
''' </summary>
Public Property fldName() As String
Get
Return Me.Model.fldName
End Get
Set(ByVal value As String)
Me.Model.fldName = value
Me.OnPropertyChanged("fldName")
End Set
End Property
''' <summary>
''' Constructs a view model to represent the supplied ContactDetail
''' </summary>
''' <param name="detail">The detail to build a ViewModel for</param>
''' <returns>The constructed ViewModel, null if one can't be built</returns>
Public Shared Function BuildViewModel(ByVal detail As tblParty) As vmParty
If detail Is Nothing Then
Throw New ArgumentNullException("detail")
End If
Dim e As tblParty = TryCast(detail, tblParty)
If e IsNot Nothing Then
Return New vmPetitioner(e)
End If
Return Nothing
End Function
End Class
End Namespace
And final the code behind of the view vPetitioner:
<UserControl x:Class="CCIS.View.Case.vPetitioner"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:CCIS.ViewModel.Case"
mc:Ignorable="d"
Width="300">
<UserControl.Resources>
<ResourceDictionary Source=".\CompactFormStyles.xaml" />
</UserControl.Resources>
<Grid>
<Border Style="{StaticResource DetailBorder}">
<Grid>
<Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<ColumnDefinition Width="Auto" />
<ColumnDefinition Width="*" />
</Grid.ColumnDefinitions>
<TextBlock Grid.Column="0" Text="Petitioner:" />
<ComboBox Grid.Column="1" Width="240" SelectedValuePath="." SelectedItem="{Binding Path=tblParty}" ItemsSource="{Binding Path=PetitionerLookup}" DisplayMemberPath="fldName" />
</Grid>
</Border>
</Grid>
</UserControl>
The problem, presumably, seems to be is that the binding path "PetitionerLookup" of the ItemSource of the Combo box in the view vPetitioner exists in a different ViewModel vmCase which serves as an ObservableCollection for MainViewModel. Therefore,
what I need to Know is how to route the binding path if it exists in a different ViewModel?
Sir, I look forward to your early reply bringing a workable solution to the problem I face.

Display data in list and combo box

hi all....
how to display data from database in list and combo box? i use MYSQL...
help me please..... tq...

1 - Write a query to retrieve the data you want from database
2 - In a servlet, connect to database, Run the query, scroll through the result set and put the data into a list of Java Objects.
3 - Set a request/session attribute of that list of objects
4 - Forward to JSP
5 - In JSP, create a <select> box, and then use a <c:forEach> loop to generate <option> tags from the list.

Show text box from one combo box selection

Total newb here and need help. I tried searching for a javascript to copy/paste, but without any luck. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0. If you could help me out with the javascript or with directions on how to make the following be accomplished, I would be greatly appreciative.
I am creating a fillable PDF and currently have a combo box that is labeled "Internship Satisfied By" with the options of "TCoB PDP", "MRKTNG 4185", and "Other College". I would like a hidden text box (where the end user can fill in to explain) to become visible only when the end user selects the "Other College" option, but stay hidden for the other selections. The hidden text box is labeled "Internship Explained".
Thanks in advance! Jarrod

Use this code as the combo box's validation script:
if (event.value == "Other College") {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.visible;
} else {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.hidden;

Adding an event listener to combo box

I am working on a mortgage calculator and I cannot figure out how to add an event listener to a combo box.
I want to get the mortgage term and interest rate to calucate the mortgage using the combo cox. Here is my program.
Modify the mortgage program to allow the user to input the amount of a mortgage
and then select from a menu of mortgage loans: 7 year at 5.35%, 15 year at 5.50%, and
30 year at 5.75%. Use an array for the different loans. Display the mortgage payment
amount. Then, list the loan balance and interest paid for each payment over the term
of the loan. Allow the user to loop back and enter a new amount and make a new
selection, with resulting new values. Allow user to exit if running as an application
(can't do that for an applet though).

The OP already did this to both JComboBoxes.
mochatay, here is a new actionPerformed method for you to use.
I've improved a few things here and there...
1) You can't just cast the ActionEvent's source into a JComboBox!
What if it was a JButton that fired the event? Then you would get ClassCastExceptions (I'm sure you did)
So check for all options, what the source of the ActionEvent actually was...
2) You can't assume the user will always type in valid data.
So enclose the Integer and Double parse methods in try-catch brakcets.
Then you can do something when you know that the user has entered invalid input
(like tell him/her what a clumsy idiot they are !)
3) As soon as user presses an item in any JComboBox, just re-calculate.
I did this here by programmatically clicking the 'Calculate' button.
Alternatively, you could have a 'calculate' method, which does everything inside the
if(command==calculateButton) if-block.
This will be called when:
a)calculateButton is pressed
b)when either of the JComboBoxes are pressed.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent event)
        Object command = event.getSource ();
        if (command == calculateButton) //calculates mortgage payment
            int year = 0;
            double rate = 0;
            double mortgage = 0;
            double interest = 0;
            /* If user has input invalid data, tell him so
            and return (Exit from this method back to where we were before */
            try
                year = Integer.parseInt (mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ().toString ());
                rate = new Double (interestRate.getSelectedItem ().toString ()).doubleValue ();
                mortgage = new Double (mortgageAmount.getText ()).doubleValue ();
                interest = rate / 100.0 / 12.0;
            catch (NumberFormatException nfe)
                /* Display a message Dialogue box with a message */
                JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (this, "Error! Invalid input!");
                return;
            double monthly = mortgage * (interest / (1 - Math.pow (interest + 1, -12.0 * year)));
            NumberFormat myCurrencyFormatter;
            myCurrencyFormatter = NumberFormat.getCurrencyInstance (Locale.US);
            monthlyPayment.setText (myCurrencyFormatter.format (monthly));
        else if (command == clearButton) //clears all text fields
            /* Better than setting it to null (I think) */
            mortgageAmount.setText ("");
            //mortgageTerm.setText(null);
            //interestRate.setText(null);
            monthlyPayment.setText ("");
        else if (command == exitButton) //sets exit button
            System.exit (0);
        else if (command == mortgageTerm)
            /* Programmatically 'clicks' the button,
            As is user had clicked it */
            calculateButton.doClick ();
        else if (command == interestRate)
            calculateButton.doClick ();
        //JComboBox mortgageTerm = (JComboBox) event.getSource ();
        //String termYear = (String) mortgageTerm.getSelectedItem ();
    }Hope this solves your problems.
I also hope you'll be able to learn from what I've indicated, so you can use similar things yourself

Retrieve all values from project type when project type combo box is null

Hi,
We are facing a tight situation here. We have a scenario where we have 2 filter options.
1) Department ID
2) Project type
When department ID is selected all the department IDs should be populated in the combo box and the project type combo box should be empty.
Similarly, when project type is selected all the project types should be populated in the combo box and the department ID combo box should be empty.
Then, when more than one value is selected from department ID box and all the values from project type must be retrieved from query level (as per business logic).
How do we do this? Kindly help us with this situation.

Basically my situation slightly different.
I am trying to do a bulk insert on SQL Server table using prepared statement, during that time i am getting the exception. I am using JDBC-ODBC driver. However, if i do individual record insertion, it is working.
Any idea about this type of problem ?

Ramesh

displayed in the display area. The combo box (or drop down list) that enables the user to choose the colour of
the displayed shape and the altering should take effect immediately.When the show button is pressed,
the image should immediately revert to the black square, the combo box should show the value that
correspond to the black.
Now ,the problem is: after I pressed show button, the image is reverted to the black square,but I don't know
how can I make the combo box turn to the value of black.
Any help or hint?Thanks a lot!

Hello,
does setSelectedIndex(int anIndex)
do what you need?
See Java Doc for JComboBox.

Combo box with bind variable from popup

Hi.
I had two comboboxes on a form, one having a bind variable. It works great, with the first one as bind field.
But i want to have the first LOV to be a POPUP. So, the second LOV (combo box) needs to be refreshed when a user has picked a value from the popup list. When i do that, the second LOV is not refresehed...
Is there a way to do this?
(3.0.9.8.3.A)

Hi,
This was a bug and is fixed in 30984.
Thanks,
Sharmila
