Description

sample scenario:

public class Person
{
...
private Character gender; //I chose Character to compare possibilities

//+ getter and setter methods
}

-> within tr:selectOneRadio the following two selectItems work very well:
<tr:selectItem label="#

{messages.female}" value="f" .../>
<tr:selectItem label="#{messages.male}" value="m" .../>

("f" and "m" is important for the comparison)

the example above also works with a java 5 enum with one exception - preselected values:
e.g.:

public enum Gender
{
female, male
}

->
public class Person
{
...
private Gender gender;

//+ getter and setter methods
}

in comparison to the first example it would be logical to use the following possibility (with the enum version of this example):

<tr:selectItem label="#{messages.female}

" value="female" .../>
<tr:selectItem label="#

{messages.male}" value="male" .../>

this version of the example works well with the exception of the preselected/default value
(e.g. if the page is redisplayed and should provide the previous entered value(s) or a simple default selection which is not reasonable for this gender example...)

—

at the moment the following workaround is possible:

<tr:selectItem label="#{messages.female}" value="#{pageBean.female}" ..."/>
<tr:selectItem label="#{messages.male}

" value="#

{pageBean.male}

" ..."/>

within pageBean:
public Gender getFemale()
{
return Gender.female;
}

public Gender getMale()
{
return Gender.male;
}
