Thanks Pete. Will check out Rick's tutorial. I actually went thru his facelets tutorial not too long ago. If only the valueChangeEvent or selectOne objects had an index attribute that I could read, I could use that same index to retrieve the the selected item from my list. Seems like an odd omission to me but then I'm new to JSF. I probably need to research it more. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4056893#...
