does not work

Question

I have there code

<p:selectOneMenu id="starter" value="#{reportRegisterManagedBean.starter}" style="width:160px" converter="#{reportStarterConverter}">
<f:selectItem itemLabel="Select Report Starter" itemValue="0"
itemDescription="TEST" />
<f:selectItems
value="#{reportRegisterManagedBean.startersSelectItems}" var="ds" itemLabel="#{ds.name}" itemValue="#{ds}" itemDescription="#{ds.description}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

here itemDescription="TEST" atribute works very well in <f:selectItem> tag. but itemDescription="#{ds.description}" not working in <f:selectItems> tag.

is here bug?

i think is bean problem . may be you need to rebuild you project . — , Mar 25 '13 at 06:28
i use mave and now i clean and install project but not working. Why works itemDescription="TEST" in tag and why not working in ? — zura katsitadze, Mar 25 '13 at 06:33
Not a description of the screen...I want to show the description of the mouse brought in all... — zura katsitadze, Mar 25 '13 at 06:34
yes works very well. if i m try to write itemDescription="test test" e.g plain text this is not works. I think here is bug. — zura katsitadze, Mar 25 '13 at 06:36
post your bean code, particularly reportRegisterManagedBean.startersSelectItems — roel, Mar 25 '13 at 09:47
Please elaborate "not working" in developer's terms instead of in enduser's terms. What exactly happens (not)? — BalusC, Mar 25 '13 at 12:07
You mean, the **tooltip of the option** is not being shown? Well, in that case this answer may be helpful: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11780397/primefaces-tooltip-for-pselectmanycheckbox/12512353#12512353 — BalusC, Mar 25 '13 at 12:09
public List startersSelectItems; startersSelectItems = new ArrayList(); startersSelectItems.add(new SelectItem(ds, ds.getName())); this is bean class. — zura katsitadze, Mar 25 '13 at 12:16

f:selectItems requires a List which you define in our bean like this:

List<SelectItem> list = new LinkedList<SelectItem>();
list.add(new SelectItem("this will be the return value -> itemValue", "this will be the display value -> itemLable"));

If you do so, you don't even need itemValue or itemDescription, because it's already defined in the list.

Update(note: you don't need itemValue, itemDescription):

In your xhtml page it would look like this:

<p:selectOneMenu value="#{reportRegisterManagedBean.starter}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{reportRegisterManagedBean.startersSelectItems}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

I have startersSelectItems = new ArrayList(); startersSelectItems.add(new SelectItem(ds, ds.getName())); i try to use ds.getName() to show itemDescription="#{ds.name}" but not working – zura katsitadze Mar 25 '13 at 12:02
Did you remove itemDescription, itemLabel from your f:selectItems tag? I updated my answer, try it. – leostiw Mar 25 '13 at 14:14
no, i have converter and other attribute in . is any difference between new LinkedList() and new ArrayList()? – zura katsitadze Mar 25 '13 at 16:59
