I have been debugging and noticed that the failure is in the GenericValueEncoder.toValue method The idFieldAdapter property is null and therefore it can't find a match.
And why is the idFieldAdapter null? Because in the constructor(see below), the list parameter was null after submitting the form. Do I need to persist my List of objects? I don't want this.... And I think the example on the wiki doesn't work as well. Does anyone had this error earlier? public GenericValueEncoder(List<T> list, String idField, PropertyAccess access) { if (idField != null && !idField.equalsIgnoreCase("null")) { if (list.size() > 0) { this.idFieldAdapter = access.getAdapter(list.get(0).getClass()).getPropertyAdapter(idField); } } this.list = list; } > Hello > > I use the select component with the @InjectSelectionModel annotation as > described here: > http://wiki.apache.org/tapestry/Tapestry5AnotherSelectWithObjects > > <select t:type="select" t:id="categorySelect" > model="categoriesSelectionModel" encoder="categoriesValueEncoder" > value="selectedCategory" /> > > The select is nicely loaded with categories.
