Odd binding problem with dropdowns in jsp page

[kkelleher]

Hi,

I am using spring web flow 2.0 & hibernate.

I wish to have 3 dropdowns, - country of birth, nationality & address, obviously each presenting a list of countries, on a jsp page.

When the page just has one of the dropdowns (any one) , all works ok, for the relevant field, the country selected is saved.

However with all 3 on the page

• selecting a country in the first drop down leads to that value being saved for all 3 fields.
• selecting a country in the second or third dropdown does not lead to that value being saved.

<form:select  path="countryBirth.codeID" style="width:170px" id="_countryBirth">   	               
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>

<form:select  path="country.codeID" style="width:200px" id="_country">
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>

<form:select  path="nationality.codeID" style="width:200px" id="_nationality">
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Hello

1)Could you post the POJO that is represented in such form?
2)Post your controller's code to see how you are filling the data in the model and how you handle the submit event

Thanks for the reply dr_pompeii,

I fixed the issue by

a) Making the code change below
b) Adding a converter

<form:select  path="countryBirth" style="width:170px" id="_countryBirth">   	               
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>

<form:select  path="country" style="width:200px" id="_country">
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>

<form:select  path="nationality" style="width:200px" id="_nationality">
    <form:options items="${countryList}" itemValue="codeID" itemLabel="codeDescription"/>
</form:select>
