Hello,

I need to bind a radiogroup to a property that is of type enum (java 5). I think it is possible with TypeConverters but I couldn't find a documentation to understand how it works, anyone has any tips or examples?

SomeEnumType {A, B, C}
class WithEnum {
    SomeEnumType propertyName
    // getters and setters
}
<radiogroup // how to bind it? ...

Regards,
Felipe Cypriano

I also got that InstantiationException when I was trying fmcypriano's EnumRadiogroupConverter.

I think this exception is due to a failure related to default constructor of OrigemEstoqueRadiogroupConverter. So I modified original fmcypriano's solution ensuring default constructor exists and works, then data binding worked too!!!.

BTW, I had to get rid of generics in: EnumRadiogroupConverter<T extends Enum> ...

Thanks fmcypriano for that solution it help me a lot. ;) :)

Regards.

Hi I am running my app in Google App engine and this type converter is not working for me. I am getting the following exception:

Any ideas how to make this to work?

>> I think it is working
Yes, but like my example only for the selectedItem. You could not load/create the radiogroup with a model like i.e. a combobox.

I think it is working:

package vc.zk.databinding;

import org.zkoss.zk.ui.Component;
import org.zkoss.zkplus.databind.RadiogroupSelectedItemConverter;

/**
 * Created by Felipe Cypriano
 * Date: 02/06/2009
 * Time: 09:24:34
 *
 * <p>The radio's value attribute must be the same as the enum constant</p>
 * <strong>Thread Safe</strong>
 */
public class EnumRadiogroupConverter<T extends Enum> extends RadiogroupSelectedItemConverter {
    private final Class<T> className;

    public EnumRadiogroupConverter(Class<T> className) {
        this.className = className;
    }

    @Override
    public Object coerceToUi(Object val, Component component) {
        if (val instanceof Enum) {
            Enum value = (Enum) val;
            String constanteName = value.name();
            return super.coerceToUi(constanteName, component);
        } else if (val == null){
            return null;
        } else {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("val Object must be an Enum");
        }
    }

    @Override
    public Object coerceToBean(Object val, Component component) {
        String enumName = (String) super.coerceToBean(val, component);
        return Enum.valueOf(className, enumName);
    }
}

Zul:
// public class OrigemEstoqueRadiogroupConverter extends EnumRadiogroupConverter<OrigemEstoque>{ ...
<radiogroup selectedItem="@{pedidoVenda.origemEstoque, converter='vc.zk.databinding.OrigemEstoqueRadiogroupConverter'}">
...

I'm doing the tests right now.

There is no model for the radiogroup - so you could not work with @databinding to setup up the group.

You could try to mix EL's with @databinding.

<radiogroup selectedItem="@{selectedItem}">
<radio foreach="${tryEnum}"...>
