showing jobs and names

[vammpiro]

Hi 4 all,

I need to show on a jsp file some data of my employee, and in the same form I need to show some jobs. so I'll can attach the jobs to the employee.

My question is: Can I use bind to more than one object? like employee and jobs? where can I set this objects to send to the form(I'm using AbstractWizardController)?

Not sure I fully understand the question, and I haven't used the WizardController, but I'll give it a go:

Can I use bind to more than one object

I think you can only use it with your command object. But you can bind to attributes of that object.

like employee and jobs? where can I set this objects to send to the form?

Seems like jobs would likely be a collection or array attribute of employee? In which case I'd think you'd set up the jobs as an attribute of the employee wherever you set up the employee - e.g. formBackingObject. As long as your employee has a get method for jobs, you can access the jobs collection in jsp el as ${employee.jobs}, and use it with spring:bind

but there will be jobs that is not part of the employee... example...

employee A has jobs B and C...
but on the frontend, I need to show the data for the employee A, and:
job B [checked]
job C [checked]
job D [unchecked]
job E [unchecked]
job F [unchecked]
job G [unchecked]

so I can check new jobs... =D

thank u again

Then I think the list of all jobs would be referenceData, as you suggested.
