http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SeamSelectItemsNewDesign I've redesigned SeamSelectItems such that rather than using the @SelectItems annotation you just outject. The magic now occurs completely in ui:selectItems (which only works with Facelets I'm afraid). @SelectItems is still there if you are tied to JSP. e.g. @Entity public class User { | | @Id Integer id; | String name; | | //getters and setters | } public class ActionBean { | | ... | | @Factory("users") | public List<User> getUsers() { | List<User> users = em.createQuery("select u from User").getResultsList(); | return users; | } <h:selectOneMenu value="#{foo.user}"> | <si:selectItems value="#{users}" var="user" label="#{user.name} (#{user.id})" /> | </h:selectOneMenu> I much prefer this design - it seems much simpler to use to me.
