setEditorType on data source field declaration and StaticTextItem

[d.cavestro]

Hi,
I'm setting the editor type on the data source field declaration, setting a SelectItem widget for every foreign key field (only to let the filter builder use a drop-down list for that field): the problem is that I need to "override" that property even when I use the same field in a read-only way (i.e. as a StaticTextItem) on a form.

Is there a better way to "inform" the filter builder to use a SelectItem for my foreign keys?


Here is the data source declaration

final DataSourceIntegerField optionField = new DataSourceIntegerField ("option", "OPTION");
//NEEDED to let the filter builder show a drop-down list
final SelectItem optionsItem = new SelectItem ();
optionsItem.setName (optionField.getName ());
optionsItem.setOptionDataSource (getOptionDataSource ());
optionsItem.setValueField ("id");
optionsItem.setDisplayField ("name");
optionField.setEditorType (optionsItem);

mainDataSource.addField (optionField);

and this the StatisTextItem declaration

final StaticTextItem optionItem = new StaticTextItem ("option");
optionItem.setWrap (false);
//NEEDED to show the display value on the form (duplicates the data source declaration)
optionItem.setOptionDataSource (getOptionDataSource ());
optionItem.setValueField ("id");
optionItem.setDisplayField ("name");
//NEEDED to show the display value on the form WITHOUT a drop-down list
//the screenshot was taken without the following row
optionItem.setEditorType (new StaticTextItem ());

I'm also attaching a complete test case.

At client side I'm using
SmartClient Version: SC_SNAPSHOT-2010-10-19/LGPL Development Only (built 2010-10-19)
GWT 2.0.4
Firefox 3.6.10

at server side Grails 1.3.4

Kind regards
