Question

I used this jQuery picklist

$(function()
{
    $("#selectUsers").pickList();
});

and in jsf page

<h:selectManyMenu id="selectUsers">
      <f:selectItems value="#{someBean.selectItems}" />
</h:selectManyMenu>

in Java

private List<SelectItem> selectItems;

How can I get users that I selected in picklist in Java class?

Answer 1

Add value=#{someBean.myValue} in h:selectManyMenu and define myValue as List List<String> myValue

Code will be as below.

JSF

                                   vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
<h:selectManyMenu id="selectUsers" value="#{someBean.myValue}"> 
    <f:selectItems value="#{someBean.selectItems}" />
</h:selectManyMenu>

Java

List<String> myValue;
// setter and getter

Edit 1

I noticed that you want list as Dual list. For that I would suggest you to use Primefaces picklist. You will not need to write much code. See second option, its just awesome.
