[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: Binding Dropdown To Database Table Using Seam..

It's not much help, but I definitely agree that the SelectItem stuff is a total nightmare in JSF. There is an open JIRA issue for Seam that tries to unify the various strategies in an easier to use API/annotation. It's not done yet. Personally, I really don't understand why the standard SelectItem implementation can't just take another argument in the constructor that uniquely identifies an instance for the toObject() and toString() methods of a default JSF converter, something like: selectItemList.add( new SelectItem("label", item, item.hashCode()) ); View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3978928#...
