Luis Tama commented on RF-4293:
-------------------------------

Hi guys... 

rich:combobox does what it was designed to (an input text component with client-side suggestions). 

If we want to use it for selecting of values based on selected labels (rendered by the component), we must wait for a new component to be designed (or design it)... or enhance it on the client-side (as I did)... 

In this article I share my (working) approach: 

Enhanced rich:comboBox: Values (not only Text) and RegExp Suggestions 
http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-15534 

So please test it and let me know what you think. 

God bless you. 

Best regards, 
Luis Tama

> #1. Create "Car" entity with two attributes("id" & "name") following way:
> @Entity(name="car")
> public class Car {
> 	private String name;
> 		
> 	public String getName() {
> 		return name;
> 	}
> 	public void setName(String name) {
> 		this.name = name;
> 	}
> 	public Car(int id){
> 		this.id = id;
> 		this.name = "name_" + id;
> 	}
> 	@Id
> 	private int id;
> 	public int getId() {
> 		return id;
> 	}
> 	public void setId(int id) {
> 		this.id = id;
> 	}
> }
> #2. Add rich:comboBox on the page.
> <rich:comboBox id="lstIndustry1" defaultLabel="Select your industry">
> 				<s:selectItems value="#{combobox.selectItems}" var="ind" label="#{ind.name}"/>
> 				<s:convertEntity />
> 			</rich:comboBox>
> selectItems is ArrayList<Car> defined in "combobox" bean:
> private ArrayList<Car> selectItems;	
> public Combobox(){
> 		this.selectItems = new ArrayList<Car>();		
> 		for(int i = 0; i < 100; i++){		
> 			selectItems.add(new Car(i));			
> 		}
> 	}
> #3. Naviagate on the page, contained rich:comboBox.
> #4. Open component's pop up list & verify items' labels.
> Actual behavior:
> Instead of Car's "name" property list fo ids displayed. Replace rich:comboBox with h:selectOneMenu - everything works fine.
