Failing to populate list-option

[Foo Shyn Chung]

Hi guys,

Just to check, anyone has an idea on how to populate a dropdown list with
the result from getAssociatedStateList in the Form Widget xml?

The scenario is that i just need the dropdown box to populate the states of
a particular country, thus i do not need the full ajax implementation as
mentioned in the example form.

Currently i have the Form in single mode and actions tag that calls the
service,

<form name="MembersForm" target="addMember" type="single"
default-title-style="tableheadtext" default-tooltip-style="tabletext"
default-widget-style="inputBox" >
    <actions>
      <service service-name="getAssociatedStateList" result-map="result">
          <field-map name="countryGeoId" value="MYS"/>
      </service>
    </actions>

      <field name="states">
        <drop-down allow-empty="true">
         <list-options key-name="countryGeoId" list-name="result.stateList"
description="${countryGeoId}"  />
      </drop-down>
    </field>
    ....
  </form>

I got an error that states "Not a map"

Anyone has any clue?

Thanx

I got the following from the log:

Sync service [marketingofficer/getAssociatedStateList] finished in [953]
milliseconds with response [{stateList={Johor: MY-JHR, Kedah: MY-KDH,
Kelantan: MY-KTN, Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur: MY-KUL, Wilayah
Persekutuan Labuan: MY-LBN, Melaka: MY-MLK, Negeri Sembilan: MY-NSN,

Sarawak: MY-SWK, Terengganu: MY-TRG}, responseMessage=success}]
2011-12-20 14:30:32,843 (http-0.0.0.0-8443-1) [
ModelScreen.java:401:ERROR] Error rendering screen
[component://common/widget/CommonScreens.xml#GlobalDecorator]:
java.lang.ClassCastException: Not a map. Rolling back transaction.

From there i can see that the service call was successful, however it
failed when rendering the screen.

I think it is because the service result is not a Map and it's a List
instead? if that's the case is there anyway i can encapsulate the result
into a Map in the xml and use it as i intended to to generate the option
list?

Thanx a lot

Keep it simple, use

<field name="geoId">
    <drop-down allow-empty="true">
        <entity-options entity-name="GeoAssocAndGeoToWithState" description="${geoName}">
            <entity-constraint name="geoIdFrom" value="MYS"/>
        </entity-options>
    </drop-down>
</field>

I didn't have this view in my project as i got the version 11 from the
branch release instead of trunk. However after i imported the relevant
entity and data from trunk, it's now working!

Thanx for the help!
