Class OptionWriter

java.lang.Object
  org.springframework.web.servlet.tags.form.OptionWriter

Direct Known Subclasses:

OptionsTag.OptionsWriter

 class OptionWriter
extends java.lang.Object

Provides supporting functionality to render a list of 'option' tags based on some source object. This object can be either an array, a Collection, or a Map.

Using an array or a Collection:

If you supply an array or Collection source object to render the inner 'option' tags, you may optionally specify the name of the property on the objects which corresponds to the value of the rendered 'option' (i.e., the valueProperty) and the name of the property that corresponds to the label (i.e., the labelProperty). These properties are then used when rendering each element of the array/Collection as an 'option'. If either property name is omitted, the value of Object.toString() of the corresponding array/Collection element is used instead. However, if the item is an enum, Enum.name() is used as the default value.

Using a Map:

You can alternatively choose to render 'option' tags by supplying a Map as the source object.

If you omit property names for the value and label:

• the key of each Map entry will correspond to the value of the rendered 'option', and
• the value of each Map entry will correspond to the label of the rendered 'option'.

If you supply property names for the value and label:

• the value of the rendered 'option' will be retrieved from the valueProperty on the object corresponding to the key of each Map entry, and
• the label of the rendered 'option' will be retrieved from the labelProperty on the object corresponding to the value of each Map entry.

When using either of these approaches:

• Property names for the value and label are specified as arguments to the constructor.
• An 'option' is marked as 'selected' if its key matches the value that is bound to the tag instance.
