Question

If an entity has the property defined as

private String noWstManagedFlg;

and the database is constraint is set to enforce a ‘Y’ or ‘N’. Is there a built in Y N to boolean converter I can use with h:selectBooleanCheckbox? Or will I need to add my own converter and/or property on my entity that returns a boolean?

<h:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{entity.noWstManagedFlg}" />

Answer 1

There is no such converter in Seam, but if your JPA implementation is Hibernate, you can map that property with ‘yes_no‘ type and have it boolean in the entity.

@Type(type= "yes_no")
private boolean noWstManagedFlg;
