Dialog problem

[esseweb]

Hi,i've a problem with a dialog editor, whith a dialogfieldset nested in a checkable fieldset.

All is rendered fine, but when i put some values and click save, no values seems to be saved (after re-opening dialog only checkable field is stored).

Can anyone help me? Thanks

Thanks smacdonald2008, i'm using CQ5 5.6.1

To properly store/persist/display values in a component dialog, you can create app logic to invoke a custom sling servlet. Pass the values to the sling servlet that you want to store the values in the JCR. Also, when you open the dialog- call the servlet, get the values and populate the dialog fields that you want to display the data in.

You can invoke back end servlets from xtypes. See this community article as an example:

Invoking Sling Servlets from AEM xtype widgets

You can also write a custom xtype, and use code to define the dialog fields and invoke the servlet too. Populate the dialog fields using JS logic within the custom xtype.

ok. You're saying that this isn't made automatically...

In general for other kinds of dialog I don't need to write custom server logic to retrieve stored values,

It seems values appear in dialog fieldset just for 1 second. So i think are retrieved in the right way but for some reason immediately deleted.

Any ideas? I
