           Assignee: Brian Leathem
      Fix Version/s: 4.1.0.Tracking
        Component/s: component-input
    Forum Reference: http://community.jboss.org/thread/170992?tstart=30  (was: http://community.jboss.org/thread/170992?tstart=30)


I haven't yet looked at the implementation, but it seems to me that what is required is to have another "hidden" input that holds the submitted value.  The visible inputText would hold a label for the value. We would then need a new attribute valueLabel, that would be of the form #{var.myLabel}.

The value that goes into the hidden input should be the string returned from the converter, so it can be converted back to an object on form submission.

> Given the above code the fetchValue which is placed in the generated inputText box is what is actually submitted with the form.
> To support POJO selects what is needed is to have a value and a valueLabel so that the fetchValue can be displayed to the user but the acutal converted object value is submitted to the form.
