[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (RF-6230) Support itemValue and itemLabel for rich:comboBox

Support itemValue and itemLabel for rich:comboBox ------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-6230 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6230 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Felipe Jaekel Assignee: Tsikhon Kuprevich When using a SelectItem object, only the value property is used. The problem is when data is populated from the database, the value property is necessary for holding the entity primary key, since the property that is used as label isn't always unique at the database, like the name property of an Employee entity for example. It has also the problem of having to write extra code to retrieve the entity. Having the ID there are already some entity converters available and when using JPA there is the EntityManager's findById method.
