How to programmatically select an item in rich:comboBox with selectItems
------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-7628
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7628
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: component
         Environment: Windows XP, IE or Firefox
            Reporter: Leonid Sokolin


I need to find out how I could change the selected item in Rich combo box, which has collection of selectItems populated from the database.

I am able to change the value of this combo box, when another combo box has selected value changed, but if I click on drop down, it still shows first record as selected, even if text field has a different value. I have to find that value in the list before it would be highlighted.

I would appreciate, if someone would tell me how to access the selectItem for this combo box. Please see XHTML below:

<h:outputText value="Product:" />
					<a4j:region>
						<rich:comboBox id="product" width="300" value="#{piQueryToolBean.product}" 
							enableManualInput="false" valueChangeListener="#{piQueryToolBean.changeBenchmark}" 
							immediate="true"
							converter="#{productConverter}">
							
							<a4j:support event="onselect" reRender="benchmark,benchmarkList" />
							<f:selectItems id="productList" value="#{piQueryToolBean.productList}" />
						</rich:comboBox>
					</a4j:region>
					<rich:message for="product" style="color:red;" />

					<h:outputText value="Benchmark:" />
					<a4j:region>
						<rich:comboBox id="benchmark" width="300" value="#{piQueryToolBean.benchmark}" 
							directInputSuggestions="true" enableManualInput="false" 
							converter="#{benchmarkConverter}" onlistcall="findBenchmark()" >
							
							<f:selectItems id="benchmarkList" value="#{piQueryToolBean.benchmarkList}" />
						</rich:comboBox>
					</a4j:region>
					<rich:message for="benchmark" style="color:red;" />
