implement selectBooleanCheckbox on column that contain [Y, N] or [0,1]

if you have a column in table that contain values like Y,N  or 0,1
and want to display it to user in selectBooleanCheckBox

then you can do it in a simple way like what i will explain

first of all we will do that by using converter Class ,
it will play the role to Convert Y --> true and N-->false and vice versa

create Converter Class like the following

package youPackage.converters;

 

import java.util.Collection;

import java.util.Collections;

 

import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;

import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

import javax.faces.convert.Converter;

 

import org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.convert.ClientConverter;

 

public class YNConverter

  implements Converter, ClientConverter

{

  public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, String value)

  {

    return "true".equals(value) ? "Y" : "N";

  }

 

  public String getAsString(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, Object value)

  {

    return "Y".equals(value) ? "true" : "false";

  }

 

  public String getClientLibrarySource(FacesContext facesContext)

  {

    return null;

  }

 

  public Collection<String> getClientImportNames()

  {

    return Collections.emptySet();

  }

 

  public String getClientScript(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent)

  {

    return null;

  }

 

  public String getClientConversion(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent)

  {

    return null;

  }

}

the second step is to add this Converter in faces-config.xml:

<converter>

  <converter-id>YNConverter</converter-id>

  <converter-class>youPackage.converters.YNConverter</converter-class>

</converter>

the Final step  is to use   this converter in the Component 

<af:selectBooleanCheckbox value="#{row.bindings.Disabled.inputValue}"

                          label="#{bindings.VipUserVO.hints.Disabled.label}"

                          converter="YNConverter"

                          id="sbc1"/>
