[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - h:selectOneMenu with s:selectItems not binding to anything

[cdiggins]

I have an h:selectOneMenu that contains an s:selectItems and an ec:convertEntity. With or without the convertEntity, I can not get the property the selectOneMenu is bound to be anything other than null.

My objective is to get the siEmpType property on the SiEmployee to reflect the object selected in the dropdown menu. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
