rich:panelMenu rich:panelMenuItem requires binding to remember selected item state
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: RF-6545
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-6545
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0
            Reporter: Mike Hanafey


In the example below, the backing bean is session, but it does nothing with the "binding" property (other than store the value). If "binding" is omitted, then the selected state of the panel menu items is not maintained, but it seems this should be part of the saved component state. Without "binding" if item "el" is clicked, the label momentarily turns purple, but when the view is restored it turns back to the plain state. When "binding" is present, each item that is clicked turns purple, and stays purple.
        <rich:panelMenu id="sideMenu" style="width:100%" mode="server" binding="#{MainToolBar.settingsMenu.panelMenu}"
                iconExpandedGroup="disc" iconCollapsedGroup="disc"
                iconExpandedTopGroup="chevronUp" iconGroupTopPosition="right"
                iconCollapsedTopGroup="chevronDown">

            <rich:panelMenuItem id="el" label="Report Sections" action="#{MainToolBar.settingsMenu.actionReportSectionSettings}"/>
            <rich:panelMenuItem id="snl" label="A stubbed" action="#{MainToolBar.settingsMenu.actionReportSectionSettings}"/>
        </rich:panelMenu>


The problem was traced as far as  org.richfaces.renderkit.html.PanelMenuItemRenderer, where "parentMenu.getSelectedName()" always returns the empty string if "binding" is not present.

	public boolean isSelected(FacesContext context, UIComponent component){
		UIPanelMenuItem item = (UIPanelMenuItem)component;
		UIPanelMenu parentMenu = findMenu(item);
		return item.getName().equals(parentMenu.getSelectedName());
	}
