form:select items problem in spring mvc portlet
- by dhaval
I have a set of drop-down control which I want to render with my custom tag library. The following is the code of the tag lib:
<spring:bind path="${path}">
<c:choose>
<c:when test="${readOnly}">
<span class="readOnly">${status.value}</span>
</c:when>
<c:otherwise>
<form:select path="${path }" itemLabel="${label }" itemValue="${value }" items="${itemList}">
</form:select>
</c:otherwise>
</c:choose>
And this is the code I have written in the JSP file:
<tag:conditionalListControl path="model.selectedCountry"
readOnly="false" label="name" value="id"
listItems="model.countryList" className="simple" />
Upon execution the paring returns the following error:
[jsp:165] javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Type [java.lang.String] is not valid for option items
But if i change the items="${itemList}" to items="${model.countryList}" which is the list I want to display, it works fine without any problem and also bind to required variables on form submit.
But i don't want to hard code any variables in the tag lib.
Any suggestions???
