Norman Richards commented on JBSEAM-574:
----------------------------------------

It looks like we'll look something like this:
 
       <h:selectOneMenu id="radioList"
                         layout="lineDirection"
                         value="#{etest.myVal}">
            <s:convertEnum />
            <s:enumItem enumValue="ONE"   label="yi"/>
            <s:enumItem enumValue="TWO"   label="er" />
            <s:enumItem enumValue="THREE" label="san"/>
            <s:enumItem enumValue="FOUR"  label="si"/>
        </h:selectOneMenu>

There's no direct need for s:selectOneMenu and s:selectOneRadio.  s:convertEnum doesn't need a type.  We can infer a type from the valueBinding.  If there turns out to be cases where we can't, we can add enumClass there to provide the type.  s:convertEnum is only necessary to register a converterId.    Both s:convertEnum and s:enumItem can be used independently of the other, and they should work with any tags the use select items.  (need to verify by testing with icefaces)

I've implemented the above, minus the taglib for JSP compatibility.  It looks good and can probably go in 1.1.0
