Hi! I have a form field where users can select a number of lists or individual members that e.g. should receive a meeting invitation.
My first solution was based on jquery-ui autocomplete but I cant get that to work in IE. (Even jquery's autocomplete examples does not work in IE.) I then found and wanted to try Erich Hynd's jquery multi select. See http://www.erichynds.com/jquery/jquery-ui-multiselect-widget/ My first attempt was to just add a tml generated <select> to my tapestry form. (+ some js) I.e. I intended to get / set a string encoded value with selected items by myself. However when submitting the form I got a stacktrace ... Caused by: org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.util.UnknownValueException: Could not find a coercion from type java.lang.String to type utskicket.model.entity.MemberList. at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.services.TypeCoercerImpl.findOrCreateCoercion(TypeCoercerImpl.java:276) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.services.TypeCoercerImpl.access$000(TypeCoercerImpl.java:38) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.services.TypeCoercerImpl$TargetCoercion.getCoercion(TypeCoercerImpl.java:94) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.services.TypeCoercerImpl$TargetCoercion.coerce(TypeCoercerImpl.java:71) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.ioc.internal.services.TypeCoercerImpl.coerce(TypeCoercerImpl.java:147) ~[tapestry-ioc-5.3.1.jar:na] at $TypeCoercer_1ab47ed4cd58.coerce(Unknown Source) ~[na:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.internal.services.TypeCoercedValueEncoderFactory$1.toValue(TypeCoercedValueEncoderFactory.java:45) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Loop.restoreStateFromStoredClientValue(Loop.java:470) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Loop.access$500(Loop.java:64) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Loop$RestoreStateFromStoredClientValue.execute(Loop.java:185) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Loop$RestoreStateFromStoredClientValue.execute(Loop.java:174) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] at org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.Form.executeStoredActions(Form.java:661) ~[tapestry-core-5.3.1.jar:na] ... 83 common frames omitted So it seams like T5 does not like it that way! Is there an easy way around this !? Thanks in advance, Gunnar Eketrapp The selected data where assembled correctly by the jquery-ui-multiselect-widget an delivered as invited=L3,M4,M2 I.e. L<id> for selected lists and M<id> for selected members. Extract from my bad .tml (The invited value is a String) Note: Select is not a T5 select : <select id="invited" name="invited" size="10" multiple="multiple" style="width:400px;"> <optgroup label="Lists"> <t:loop source="lists" value="list"> <option value="L${list.id}">${list.name}</option> </t:loop> </optgroup> <optgroup label="Members"> <t:loop source="members" value="member"> <option value="M${member.id}">${member.name}</option> </t:loop> </optgroup> </select>
