Hello,
I searched the forum and looked in the docs and tutorials for an example. I am sure I missed it. I would like to use the enumerated type values for a column as the choices for a drop down. Can someone suggest a solution that works with creator from the user interface. If that is not supported what is the recommended way to use a provider for this case?

Hi,
You can use dropdown's options. For example:
dropDown1DefaultOptions.setOptions(new com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option[] {
new com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option("choice1", "Choice1"),
new com.sun.rave.web.ui.model.Option("choice1", "Choice2")});
This operator adds 2 items to dropdown. Choice1 and Choice2 are strings to display, while choice1 and choice2 are dropdown id values.
If you have fixed set of options, you can use visual designer - select dropDown1DefaultOptions object in Outline window and edit its options property. In other case, use setOptions() in init() method.
Thanks, Misha

Thanks, is there a way to get the options from the db directly.
I have a Database table with a column defined as enumerated 'open','closed','failed'
I want to have open closed, etc appear as options. I hesitate putting the values in an option object becuase it viloates the rule of define it once.
