OrderList component works until submit the page - primefaces

Question

I have a page with an orderList component that is working partially.
This is the orderList
It has a list of names and also hold the ID for each system.
<p:orderList id="orderListAppList" value="#{manageApplications.listOfApplicationsAndIds}" var="app" controlsLocation="none" itemLabel="#{app.applicationName}" itemValue="#{app.applicationId}" >
<p:ajax event="select" listener="#{manageApplications.onSelect}"/>
<p:ajax event="unselect" listener="#{manageApplications.onUnselect}"/>
</p:orderList>
This is working as expected until I have added a button on the page that execute with ajax=false
When I click on this new button the error below is being thrown
javax.el.PropertyNotFoundException: Property 'applicationId' not found on type java.lang.String
This is the code that load the ArrayList used in the orderList component
#ManagedBean
#ViewScoped
public class ManageApplications implements Serializable {
private List<ApplicationNameAndId> listOfApplicationsAndIds = new ArrayList<ApplicationNameAndId>();
#PostConstruct
public void init() {
populateApplications();
}
private void populateApplications() {
// HERE I LOAD THE APPLICATION'S LIST FROM THE DATABASE
listOfApplicationsAndIds = manageDbApplications.getApplicationsListFromDatabase();
}
// GETTERS AND SETTERS
public List<ApplicationNameAndId> getListOfApplicationsAndIds() {
return listOfApplicationsAndIds;
}
public void setListOfApplicationsAndIds(List<ApplicationNameAndId> listOfApplicationsAndIds) {
this.listOfApplicationsAndIds = listOfApplicationsAndIds;
}
}
This is the type ApplicationNameAndId
public class ApplicationNameAndId implements Serializable {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2031225157408650765L;
String applicationId;
String applicationName;
public ApplicationNameAndId() {
}
public ApplicationNameAndId(String appName, String appId) {
this.applicationId = appId;
this.applicationName = appName;
}
// GETTERS AND SETTERS
public String getApplicationId() {
return applicationId;
}
public void setApplicationId(String applicationId) {
this.applicationId = applicationId;
}
public String getApplicationName() {
return applicationName;
}
public void setApplicationName(String applicationName) {
this.applicationName = applicationName;
}
}
My point is.
The component is working normally until I use some button with ajax=false.
<p:commandButton actionListener="#{manageApplications.selectQueuesToAddToAnExistingApplication(qmgr.queueManagerNameId)}"
oncomplete="PF('dlgAddQueuesToApplication').show();"
update=":j_idt3:addQueuesToApplicationPanel"
value="ADD QUEUE" ajax=false icon="fa fa-plus">
</p:commandButton>
Note that the "button" that I am talking about has nothing do to with the oederList component. Just adding a button that execute a listener (or something) with ajax=fase generate this error.
Any idea why?

Answer 1

The issue was related to the object that I was using.
The Application on my application's list is a Class that can be represented this way:
public class ApplicationNameAndId {
String applicationId;
String applicationName;
// CONSTRUCTOR
// GETTERS AND SETTERS HERE
}
The orderList component does not deal with your own object type, this expect to receive a List of Strings instead.
List<String> ListOfStringToBeUsed
For now I have adapted my code to return the list of Strings as expected.
When having more time I will create a custom converter class (to use my own object type) than post the how to here.
I hope this helps someone else,
