[Solved] Repeat control with select-box contents auto-filled from PostgreSQL db

Hi Carmine,

In that dialog you took a screenshot of, the "Resource URL" needs to really be a URL. It's not an XPath expression. This is most likely why this this feature doesn't work for you.

Hi Carmine,

I'm glad that solved, at least partially, the issue you were having with the dynamic dropdown. Now for that other issue you mentioned, if you can't figure it out, you'll need to share more information about it with us if you need help with it (and as usual, a minimal example that shows the problem makes it easier to see what is wrong).

Hi Carmine,

You're saying that you'd like to use the value of the dropdown (select1) when calling a service, and that this dropdown is in a repeat. This doesn't work because, if you have multiple iterations to your repeat, and thus potentially multiple values for that dropdown, which one should be passed?

Say you want to pass the value of the first dropdown in the repeat. You can do this creating a hidden output control outside of the repeat that take value of the first dropdown in the repeat. For instance, the calculated value for that control will be: /form/person/phone[1]/number. Then in your action, you pass the value of that hidden control.

And you can see this in action in this form: passing-first-value-in-repeat.xhtml
