<h:selectOneMenu> problem

[Joe Richard]

Hi all,

I am trying to use a javaBean to pull data and populate a someList<someObject>.
I want to use JSTL this is what I have that doesn't work.

<f:selectItems id="#{javaBean.someList.someObject.field1}" itemLabel="#{javaBean.someList.someObject.field2}" itemValue="#{javaBean.someList.someObject.field1}"/>

Any ideas how to do this with jsf?

In JSF one way to do is create a List of SelectItems and point the value attribute of the f:SelectItems to that list. Here is sample code

<f:selectItems value="#{stateBean.stateList}"/>

stateList is a backing bean property defined as

List<SelectItem> stateList;

You can also bind the value directly to your List instead of using List<SelectItems>, but it seems you don't get to define different values for itemLabel and itemValue. I am not very sure about this approach though
