[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Issue Comment Edited: (JBSEAM-4654) s:selectItems noSelectionLabel does not generate option value

s:selectItems noSelectionLabel does not generate option value ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4654 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4654 Project: Seam 2 Issue Type: Bug Components: Core Affects Versions: 2.2.1.CR1 Environment: JBoss 6 M3 Reporter: Andrew Wheeler When a selectOneMenu has no items other than the no selection option it does not render the option value as org.jboss.seam.ui.NoSelectionConverter.noSelectionValue. In this case the there are no values in person.images. <h:selectOneMenu id="portrait" value="#{person.portrait}"> <s:selectItems value="#{person.images}" var="i" label="#{i.annotation}" hideNoSelectionLabel="false" noSelectionLabel="Select a portrait..."/> <s:convertEntity/> </h:selectOneMenu> This renders: <select id="person:portraitDecoration:portrait" name="person:portraitDecoration:portrait" size="1"> <option selected="selected">Select a portrait...</option> </select> The result is that any form submit causes a java.lang.NumberFormatException with message: "For input string: "Select a portrait..."" I have debugged a little and I can see that the converter is not firing when rendering the page. It does however fire for other selectOneMenu items on the page that have one or more items. A similar and perhaps related issue is referenced in the JBoss Forum.
