Menu
I have a use case in which I need to first show the value of enum on the GSP page first as a drop down list, have the user select one of those values and then finally bind the data to the domain.
So my code on GSP looks like my enum is MyEnum
<g:select from="${MyEnum.getAllEnumList()}" optionValue="name" name="duration"/>
my enum is
public enum MyEnum {
MIN15('15 Minutes'),
MIN30('30 Minutes'),
HOUR1('1 Hour'),
HOUR2('2 Hours'),
HOUR5('5 Hours'),
HOUR8('8 Hours'),
HALFDAY('half day'),
FULLDAY('full day')
private final String name
private final String displayName
public static final List<MyEnum> getAllEnumList() {
[MIN15,MIN30,HOUR1,HOUR2,HOUR5,HOUR8,HALFDAY,FULLDAY]
}
public String toString() {
return displayName
}
MyEnum(String name,String displayName) {
this.name = name
this.displayName = displayName;
}
}
when I hit the page its showing an error like:
Error processing GroovyPageView: Error executing tag <g:form>: Error evaluating expression [MyEnum.getAllEnumList()] on line [37]: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class ENUM.MyEnum at D:/myspace/projects/IcepushpluginSampleApp/grails-app/views/util/test.gsp:46
Any ideas ????

This is how I have done it in the past. This way you have i18n support.
gsp
<g:select name="duration" from="${MyEnum.values()}" valueMessagePrefix="ENUM.MyEnum" />
messages.properties
ENUM.MyEnum.MIN15=15 Minutes
ENUM.MyEnum.MIN30=30 Minutes
ENUM.MyEnum.HOUR1=1 Hour
ENUM.MyEnum.HOUR2=2 Hours
ENUM.MyEnum.HOUR5=5 Hours
ENUM.MyEnum.HOUR8=8 Hours
ENUM.MyEnum.HALFDAY=half day
ENUM.MyEnum.FULLDAY=full day
<%@ page import="fully.qualified.path.MyEnum" %>
Try this at the top of your GSP (with the fully qualified path adjusted to your packages, of course).
Edit (this should work (your enum syntax is wrong too)):
<%@ page import="ENUM.MyEnum" %>
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<g:select from="${MyEnum.getAllEnumList()}" optionValue="displayName" name="duration"/>
</body>
</html>
And then the revised class:
package ENUM
public enum MyEnum {
MIN15('15 Minutes'),
MIN30('30 Minutes'),
HOUR1('1 Hour'),
HOUR2('2 Hours'),
HOUR5('5 Hours'),
HOUR8('8 Hours'),
HALFDAY('half day'),
FULLDAY('full day')
private final String displayName
public static final List<MyEnum> getAllEnumList() {
[MIN15,MIN30,HOUR1,HOUR2,HOUR5,HOUR8,HALFDAY,FULLDAY]
}
public String toString() {
return displayName
}
MyEnum(String displayName) {
this.displayName = displayName;
}
}
Edit2:
The easiest way to avoid the whole thing (both the second answer here and my solution) is to simply pass off the value list to the gsp from the controller. Simply add
[duration:MyEnum.values()]
or something similar to your controller return.

You can avoid importing in your GSP (which is kind of ugly) if you use a custom tag library. You'll also need to add another method (getKey()) to your enum if you want to have the option key be different from its value.
MyEnum.groovy
enum MyEnum {
MIN15('15 Minutes'),
MIN30('30 Minutes'),
HOUR1('1 Hour'),
HOUR2('2 Hours'),
HOUR5('5 Hours'),
HOUR8('8 Hours'),
HALFDAY('half day'),
FULLDAY('full day')
final String displayName
private MyEnum(String displayName) {
this.displayName = displayName
}
String getKey() {
name()
}
String toString() {
displayName
}
}
MyEnumTagLib.groovy
// add import if MyEnum is in a different package
class MyEnumTagLib {
static namespace = 'my'
def enumSelect = { attrs ->
attrs.from = MyEnum.values()
attrs.optionKey = 'key'
out << g.select(attrs)
}
}
gsp
<my:enumSelect name="duration"/>
