-----------------------------

    Resolution: Rejected

You should really model your data correctly.  But if you really want to do this, write a custom converter.

> When using an entity like 
> @Entity
> public class Person {
>   @Id
>   private Integer id;
>   private String firstName;
>   private String lastName;
>   private String personnelCode;
>   ...
> }
> It would be handy if it could be possible to use
> <h:selectOneMenu value="#{project.managerCode}">
>   <s:selectItems value="#{bean.managerList}" var="manager" label="#{manager.lastName}, #{manager.firstName}" 
>     insertValue="#{manage.personnelCode}"/>
>   <s:convertEntity />
> </h:selectOneMenu>
> e.g. being able to choose which field (in this case the manager personnel code) would be selected (instead of the entity ID)
