@DataModelSelection: allowing for initial value
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBSEAM-2334
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2334
             Project: JBoss Seam
          Issue Type: Feature Request
    Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA
            Reporter: Marc Lustig
            Priority: Critical


@DataModel
private List<Area> areas;
	
@Out
@DataModelSelection
private Area selectedArea;

@Begin
public String begin()  {
  selectedArea = new Area(3);
}

The above code sets an initial value for the selectedArea (=preselection).
However, after leaving the @Before-annotated method, Seam overwrites selectedArea with the first item of List<Area>.
Hence, it is impossible to set an initial value, which is a basic requirement for web-UIs.
