Jennifer Miller commented on JBSEAM-1648:
-----------------------------------------

Pete and Norman,  I figured out why this is not working and its not a Seam issue.  

I looked at the converters and they are good.  The issue turns out to be that the the class being used (RequestType) did not have the equals method defined.  

Everyone is sure the code worked before, so my "theory" is that prior to the SEAM/JSF upgrade the RequestType was being converted to a String prior to the comparison to determine the selected item.  I can't think of how else it could have worked before.  It behaves as though the comparison is now being performed on the RequestType objects, adding an equals method fixed the issue.  

I'll close the issue.

> There seems to be an issue with s:selectItems.  Specificly, using the noSelectionLabel attribute causes incorrect html output.  Before upgrading to Seam 2.0.0 Beta1 from Seam 1.2.1GA the following snippit of code worked correctly:
> <h:selectOneMenu id="selectRequestType" 
>           value="#{serviceRequest.requestType}" 
>           converter="requestTypeConverter" 
>           styleClass="field" 
>           onchange="loadServiceValues(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value)" 
>            required="false">
>  <s:selectItems value="#{lookupTable.requestTypes}"
>                      var="type"
> 	label="#{type.name}" 
>                      noSelectionLabel="-- select --" />
> </h:selectOneMenu>
> After upgrading the generated html correctly concists of a <select> with <option> elements that match the list from [ lookupTable.requestTypes ].  However, the <option> matching [ serviceRequest.requestType ] (the selected option) did not have [ selected="selected" ].   The selected attribute is missing from the selected <option> element.
> Other h:select... elements still work in Beta1.  All the ones that still work do not use noSelectionLabel attribute and also don't use a coverter.
