SelectOneMenu rendering SelectItems List twice
Hi All,
I have a bit of a problem I have not been able to track down. I have a JSP that sometimes duplcates my list data in a SelectOneMenu and sometimes the data is only listed once...ie: the list might have selectItem entry values of { All, None } and sometimes {All, None, All, None }.
The SelectOneMenu code is as follows::
<td width="*" class="bodyCopy">
<aa:zoneJSF id="ReleaseZone">
<h:selectOneMenu id="release" styleClass="bodyCopy" value="#{filterBean.selectedRelease}" immediate="true" >
<f:selectItems value="#{filterBean.release}"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
</aa:zoneJSF>
</td>
I do see the getter on the FilterBean being invoked multiple times, though I don't think that's the problem as I see the "Release" list data always returning only 2 values (never duplicated). So what confuses me is why the values in the list would be duplicated (or rendered more then once).
Incase you were wondering, the <aa:>
tag is for using Ajax Anywhere with JSF tags.
Any leads would be appreciated. I don't think of myself as a JSF newbie, but I'm really beginning to suspect otherwise.
Regards,
~Rob.

Well - the only thing found in my catalina log after the duplicate list appears is as follows:

I get those 3 warning messages frequently, so I cant tell for certain if that's the cause...though it woul be nice to be able to track down those minor issues.

It's not clear to me why I'd need to do a list.clear() in the backing bean, but I'll give it a shot. I don't know that I'd need to do this as the getter always returns the correct number of elements in the list.
But by way of disclosing more information about my backing bean with regards to the release info, see below:
// From the FilterBean object
private SelectItem[] release = null;
public FilterBean()
{
setupReleaseList("All");
SessionUtil.getSession().setAttribute("filterBean", this);
}
public SelectItem[] getRelease()
{return(release);}
public String setupReleaseList( String _version )
{
StringBuffer xml = new StringBuffer();
xml.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>");
xml.append("<options><option value='All'>All</option><option value='N''>None</option>");
this.release = new SelectItem[2];
this.release[0] = new SelectItem("A","All");
this.release[1] = new SelectItem("N","None");
xml.append("</options>");
return (xml.toString());
}
I started kicking around an idea of using xml, but at htis point It's probably a dead end.
