[2.0.2] bindFromRequest not working with select

[Ben]

Hi guys,
So I have an issue with my play/scala atm and was wondering if anyone could help.
So what I have is a configuration page that is allowing you to set the network interface adapter, and then you can submit the form and save the settings.

So i display the list of network interfaces with scala with the following code:

            <select id="networkInterfaces">
                <option value="">First Available</option>
                @for(interface <- networkInterfaces) {
                    @if(interface.Name == configs.last.networkInterfaceName) {
                        <option selected="selected" value="@interface.Name">@interface.DisplayName</option>
                    } else {
                        <option value="@interface.Name">@interface.DisplayName</option>
                    }
                }
            </select>
And my form code:
public static Result newConfiguration() {
        Form<SystemConfiguration> filledForm = configForm.bindFromRequest();
        if (!filledForm.hasErrors()) {
              SystemConfiguration.create(filledForm.get(), session("name"));
        }

}

But my problem is if I load the value as selected, it displays as if it is selected in html and even $('networkInterfaces').val() is correct but if I do not actually select anything manually then for some reason the value passed to the filledForm.get() is the @interface.DisplayName instead of @interface.Name

Have I done something wrong?

First of all, checkout @helper.select, as it can probably help you here, eg:

@helper.select(form("networkInterfaces"), networkInterfaces.map(i => (i.Name -> i.DisplayName))

Now to solving your problem:

1) Have you checked what gets rendered?  Is what you are expecting in the value field?

2) Have you checked what is going over the wire using browser developer tools (eg, firebug, or the chrome developer console)?

Cheers,

James

Just a guess, but I think your select should have a name attribute.  :-)
