Hi everybody,
I'm facing a very annoying problem on one of my custom components.
Actually, it's a component (MonthDateField) made itself of two select
components, like shown in its template :
<span id="${controlname}" class="monthdatafield">
<label for="month" class="date-label">${monthLabel}</label>
<t:select t:id="month" blankoption="never" value="month"
model="monthModel"/>
<label for="year" class="date-label">${yearLabel}</label>
<t:select t:id="year" blankoption="never" value="year"
model="yearModel"/>
</span>
In the processSubmission method of my component java class, I want to
retrieve the values of those 2 select subcomponents.
I first wrote it like this :
//Values retrieved
String month = request.getParameter("month");
String year = request.getParameter("year");
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy");
String value = month+"-"+year;
//The value is stored in tracker
tracker.recordInput(this, value);
So far, so good : it works perfectly when I make a test with one
monthdatefield component.
But I notice a strange behavior while using 2 MonthDateField components on
the same page. The reason is simple :
In the code above, i retrieve the values of the first MonthDateField only,
for which the select components ids are "month" and "year".
For the second one, the select subcomponents ids are "month_0" and "year_0".
How can I do to retrieve the values for each of the MonthDateField?
- I can't use dynamic ids (like <select t:id="${elementName}-month" ...)
- I tried to use the properties "month" and "year" of my MonthDateField
class as they are needed for the value parameter of the select
subcomponents, but they stay null....
- I tried to inject my select subcomponents using @InjectComponent and to
get the ids with the getClientId() method but same thing, they are always
null
I begin to desperate to find a solution to this problem...
Does somebody have an idea ?
Thanks in advance,
Thomas CUCCHIETTI.
