// siddhu vydyabhushana // 6 comments
In JSF, “h:selectOneRadio” tag is used to render a set of HTML input element of type “radio“, and format it with HTML table and label tag.
//JSF...
<h:selectOneRadio value="#{user.favColor1}">
   	<f:selectItem itemValue="Red" itemLabel="Color1 - Red" />
   	<f:selectItem itemValue="Green" itemLabel="Color1 - Green" />
   	<f:selectItem itemValue="Blue" itemLabel="Color1 - Blue" />
</h:selectOneRadio>
 
//HTML output...
<table>
<tr>
  <td>
	<input type="radio" name="j_idt6:j_idt8" id="j_idt6:j_idt8:0" value="Red" />
	<label for="j_idt6:j_idt8:0"> Color1 - Red</label></td>
  <td>
	<input type="radio" name="j_idt6:j_idt8" id="j_idt6:j_idt8:1" value="Green" />
	<label for="j_idt6:j_idt8:1"> Color1 - Green</label></td>
  <td>
	<input type="radio" name="j_idt6:j_idt8" id="j_idt6:j_idt8:2" value="Blue" />
	<label for="j_idt6:j_idt8:2"> Color1 - Blue</label>
  </td>
</tr>
</table>

JSF 2.0 “h:selectOneRadio” example

A JSF 2.0 example to show the use of “h:selectOneRadio” tag to render radio buttons, and populate the data in 3 different ways :
  1. Hardcoded values in “f:selectItem” tag.
  2. Generate values with a Map and put it into “f:selectItems” tag.
  3. Generate values with an Object array and put it into “f:selectItems” tag, then represent the value with a “var” attribute.

1. Backing Bean

A backing bean to hold the submitted data.
package com.mkyong;
 
import java.util.LinkedHashMap;
import java.util.Map;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.SessionScoped;
 
@ManagedBean(name="user")
@SessionScoped
public class UserBean{
 
	public String favColor1;
	public String favColor2;
	public String favColor3;
 
	//getter and setter methods 
 
	//Generated by Map
	private static Map<String,Object> color2Value;
	static{
		color2Value = new LinkedHashMap<String,Object>();
		color2Value.put("Color2 - Red", "Red"); //label, value
		color2Value.put("Color2 - Green", "Green");
		color2Value.put("Color3 - Blue", "Blue");
	}
 
	public Map<String,Object> getFavColor2Value() {
		return color2Value;
	}
 
	//Generated by Object array
	public static class Color{
		public String colorLabel;
		public String colorValue;
 
		public Color(String colorLabel, String colorValue){
			this.colorLabel = colorLabel;
			this.colorValue = colorValue;
		}
 
		public String getColorLabel(){
			return colorLabel;
		}
 
		public String getColorValue(){
			return colorValue;
		}
 
	}
 
	public Color[] color3List;
 
	public Color[] getFavColor3Value() {
 
		color3List = new Color[3];
		color3List[0] = new Color("Color3 - Red", "Red");
		color3List[1] = new Color("Color3 - Green", "Green");
		color3List[2] = new Color("Color3 - Blue", "Blue");
 
		return color3List;
	}
 
}

How to select radio button value by default?

In JSF, the radio button values of “f:selectItems” tag is selected if it matched to the “value” of “h:selectOneRadio” tag. In above example, if you set favColor2 to “Red” :
@ManagedBean(name="user")
@SessionScoped
public class UserBean{
 
	public String[] favColor = "Red";
 
	//...
The “favColor2″ radio button, “Red” option is selected by default.
