First things first-
My Class-
public class StakeHolder{
private String stakeHolderName;
private Date startDate;
private Date endDate;
}
My Controller Request Mapping-
@RequestMapping(value = { "/add" }, method = RequestMethod.GET)
public String addGet(Model model) {
StakeHolder stakeholderObj = new StakeHolder();
//To be selected in drop-down for 'stakeHolderName' attribute of StakeHolder
List<String> organizationList = stakeholderObjService
.getApplicantOrganizations();
model.addAttribute("orgList", organizationList);
model.addAttribute(STAKEHOLDER_OBJ_STRING, stakeholderObj);
return STAKEHOLDER_ADD_VIEW;
}
My JSP code for drop-down -
<form:select path="stakeHolderName" name="stakeHolderSelect"
id="stakeHolderSelect" style="width:220px;" items="${orgList}" >
When i submit the form with any value from drop down I have a server-side validator to verify all the values of attributes. When there is an error in date format it returns to the same page. When the data is correct and submitted again the dropdown value gets binded to my class's 'stakeHolderName' attribute in comma separated format which is not required.
its something like
StakeHolder [stakeHolderName=,TestOrg1,TestOrg1,TestOrg1, startDate=null, endDate=null]
The original values keeps getting appended to the name each and every time it get submitted with a preceding comma. How can I get the value "TestOrg1" just once without any comma?
Appreciate the help.
