Oracle ADF - Print input form values in console - forms

Question

I am working in JDeveloper 11.1.1.7.0. I am creating a simple form application in ADF.
I need to print the input values of the ADF-form in the console. For this, I used the below code.
System.out.println("It1 : " + it1.getValue());
System.out.println("si1 : " + si1.getValue());
System.out.println("soc1 : " + soc1.getValue());
The input values are getting populated in the console for RichInputText*(it1)* field and RichSelectItem*(si1)* field. But, the same is not working for RichSelectOneChoice*(soc1)* field.
How to print the value that is selected in RichSelectOneChoice*(soc1)* field.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

You don't need to bind the component to the managed bean (actually,this is considered as a bad practice), but to bind only the component values.
So, your form should consist of (for example):
<af:inputText value="#{managedBean.inputTextValue}" id="it1" />
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{managedBean.selectOneChoiceValue}" id="soc1">
<af:selectItem itemValue="first" itemLabel="First" id="si1" />
<af:selectItem itemValue="second" itemLabel="Second" id="si2" />
<af:selectItem itemValue="third" itemLabel="Third" id="si3" />
</af:selectOneChoice>
<af:commandButton actionListener="#{managedBean.printValues}" id="cb1" />
And in the managed bean you should have :
private String inputTextValue;
private String selectOneChoiceValue;
//accessors
public void printValues(ActionEvent event) {
System.out.println("Input text value: " + inputTextValue);
System.out.println("Select one choice value: " + selectOneChoiceValue);
}

Answer 2

Set the attribute valuePassThru to true and you should get the value of selectOneChoice as well.

Answer 3

Actually using the method you mentioned you should get the required selected value:
System.out.println("soc1 : " + soc1.getValue());
