Problems with p:selectManyCheckbox using Enum

Question

Good evening, I’m making a registration page but I came across a problem on p:selectManyCheckbox

<p:outputLabel value="Nome" for="nomepa" />
<p:autoComplete id="nomepa" size="40" dropdown="true"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente}"
    completeMethod="#{cadastroListaBean.completarPaciente}"
    var="paciente" itemLabel="#{paciente.nome}" itemValue="#{paciente}"
    forceSelection="true">
    <p:ajax event="itemSelect" process="@this"
        update="frmCadastroLista"
        listener="#{cadastroListaBean.completarCampo}" />
</p:autoComplete>

<p:outputLabel value="Identificação" for="din" />
<h:outputText id="din" size="20" maxlength="30"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.identificacao}" />

<p:outputLabel value="Sexo" for="sex" styleClass="sexo" />
<h:outputText id="sex" size="20" maxlength="30"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.sexo.descricao}" />

<p:outputLabel value="Celular" for="cel" />
<h:outputText id="cel" maxlength="20"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.telefone}" />

<p:outputLabel value="Idade" for="idad" />
<h:outputText id="idad" size="10" maxlength="10"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.idade}" />


<p:outputLabel value="Urgência" for="urgencia" />
<p:selectManyCheckbox id="urgencia"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.urgencia}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{cadastroListaBean.urgencias}"
        var="urgencia" itemValue="#{urgencia}"
        itemLabel="#{urgencia.descricao}" />
</p:selectManyCheckbox>

My Bean

@Named
@ViewScoped
public class CadastroListaBean implements Serializable {
    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

    private ListaEspera espera;

    public void salvar() {
            this.espera = cadastroListaService.salvar(this.espera);
    }


    public Urgencia[] getUrgencias(){
        return Urgencia.values();

    }

    public ListaEspera getEspera() {
        return espera;
    }

    public void setEspera(ListaEspera espera) {
        this.espera = espera;
    }

}

The error that appears is:

Caused by: javax.faces.FacesException: Target model Type is no a Collection or Array

You think it was what?

The page:

            <p:outputLabel value="Identificação" for="din" />
            <h:outputText id="din" size="20" maxlength="30"
                value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.identificacao}" />

            <p:outputLabel value="Sexo" for="sex" styleClass="sexo" />
            <h:outputText id="sex" size="20" maxlength="30"
                value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.sexo.descricao}" />

            <p:outputLabel value="Celular" for="cel" />
            <h:outputText id="cel" maxlength="20"
                value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.telefone}" />

            <p:outputLabel value="Idade" for="idad" />
            <h:outputText id="idad" size="10" maxlength="10"
                value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.paciente.idade}" />


            <p:outputLabel value="Urgência" for="urgencia" />
            <p:selectManyCheckbox id="urgencia"
                value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.urgencia}"
                converter="urgenciaConverter">
                <f:selectItems value="#{cadastroListaBean.urgencias}"
                    var="urgencia" itemValue="#{urgencia}"
                    itemLabel="#{urgencia.descricao}" />
                <f:attribute name="collectionType" value="java.util.ArrayList" />
            </p:selectManyCheckbox>

    limpar();

Answer 1

Your widget items need to be a List The recommended is you make a List

In your bean would stay

public List<SelectItem> getUrgencias(){ 
  List<SelectItem> listUrgencias = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
  for(Urgencia ug : Urgencia.values()){
    listUrgencias.add(new SelectItem(ug , ug.getDescricao()));
  }
  return listUrgencias;
}

And its component

 <p:selectManyCheckbox id="urgencia"
    value="#{cadastroListaBean.espera.urgencia}" converter="${urgenciaConverter}">
    <f:selectItems value="#{cadastroListaBean.urgencias}"
        var="urgencia" itemValue="#{urgencia}"
        itemLabel="#{urgencia.descricao}" />
 <f:attribute name="collectionType" value="java.util.ArrayList" />
</p:selectManyCheckbox>

Make a convert to your Enum to import into your element

public class UrgenciaConverter implements Converter {  

@Override  
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {  
    if (value != null) {  
        return Urgencia.valueOf(value);  
    }  

    return null;  
}

@Override  
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {  
    if (value != null && value instanceof Urgencia) {  
        return ((Urgencia) value).name();  
    }  
    return null;  
}  

}
