Question

Using scaffolding to develop a simple CRUD for accessing Resource.

I have a table with

ResourceType:
{ 
  Name
}
Example: Developer, Manager, Director

I have a table of

Resource:
{
  Name,
  ResourceType resourcetype
}
Example: Bob Jones of type Develper. Grace Smith of type Manager

I have the definition working to get the relationship to show the data on the web interface:
ResourceType:
Name, Resource_Id

The problem is that I am getting:

Bob Jones, 0
Grace Smith, 1
Alex Rodgers, 1

I want to have the view show the name from the ResourceType:

Bob Jones, Developer
Grace Smith, Manager
Alex Rodgers, Manager

Also, for new data entry, the drop down should list the names from ResourceType rather than the Ids.

Answer 1

Overriding toString() method of ResourceType might help.

String toString() {
      Name
}
