JSF form problem
Hi all,
I'm pretty new to JSF and encountered a tough problem. I have a class called Shop which contains a State object (StateID & State).
Shop.class
package net.climbingrose.models;
import java.io.Serializable;
import org.apache.commons.lang.builder.ToStringBuilder;
/** @author Hibernate CodeGenerator */
publicclass Shopimplements Serializable{
/** identifier field */
private Integer shopID;
/** persistent field */
private String address1;
/** nullable persistent field */
private String address2;
/** persistent field */
private String city;
/** persistent field */
private String description;
/** persistent field */
private String fax;
/** persistent field */
private String name;
/** nullable persistent field */
private String phone;
/** persistent field */
private String postCode;
/** nullable persistent field */
private String shortName;
/** persistent field */
private State state;
/** persistent field */
private String url;
/**
* Default constructor (Hibernate needs this)
*/
public Shop(){
//Intentionally left blank
}
public Shop(Integer shopID, String address1, String address2,
String city, String description, String fax,
String name, String phone, String postCode,
String shortName, State state, String url){
this.shopID = shopID;
this.address1 = address1;
this.address2 = address2;
this.city = city;
this.description = description;
this.fax = fax;
this.name = name;
this.phone = phone;
this.postCode = postCode;
this.shortName = shortName;
this.state = state;
this.url = url;
}
public Integer getShopID(){
return this.shopID;
}
publicvoid setShopID(int shopID){
this.shopID =new Integer(shopID);
}
publicvoid setShopID(Integer shopID){
this.shopID = shopID;
}
public String getAddress1(){
return this.address1;
}
publicvoid setAddress1(String address1){
this.address1 = address1;
}
public String getAddress2(){
return this.address2;
}
publicvoid setAddress2(String address2){
this.address2 = address2;
}
public String getCity(){
return this.city;
}
publicvoid setCity(String city){
this.city = city;
}
public String getDescription(){
return this.description;
}
publicvoid setDescription(String description){
this.description = description;
}
public String getFax(){
return this.fax;
}
publicvoid setFax(String fax){
this.fax = fax;
}
public String getName(){
return this.name;
}
publicvoid setName(String name){
this.name = name;
}

return this.phone;
}
publicvoid setPhone(String phone){
this.phone = phone;
}
public String getPostCode(){
return this.postCode;
}
publicvoid setPostCode(String postCode){
this.postCode = postCode;
}
public String getShortName(){
return this.shortName;
}
publicvoid setShortName(String shortName){
this.shortName = shortName;
}
public State getState(){
return this.state;
}
publicvoid setState(State state){
this.state = state;
}
public String getUrl(){
return this.url;
}
publicvoid setUrl(String url){
this.url = url;
}
public String toString(){
returnnew ToStringBuilder(this)
.append("shopID", getShopID())
.toString();
}
}

this.hashValue = result;
}
return this.hashValue;
}
}
I have a manage bean called currentShop which I want to update via a form. Every properties (except for 'state') in Shop class is straight forward because they are of primitive types. But I'm not sure how to set up the form for users to update the state in which the shop locates.
Any idea?
