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

Why? We already solved this problem with a JSF control.

> There are times when the UI needs a collection of SelectItem objects, yet the business logic does not need to be aware of this requirement. Thus, we have a similar situation as with JSF data models.
> It would be helpful to have an annotation counterpart to @DataModel named @SelectItems that outjects a list or hash as a list of SelectItem objects. If the property's type is a list, the label is assumed to be the same as the value. If the property's type is a hash, the entry's key is the option value and the entry's value is the option label.
> @SelectItems
> List<String> options;
> @SelectItems
> Hash<String, String> options;
> In the case of a list, we could allow a label to be defined using path notation in an annotation property named labelPath.
> @SelectItems(labelPath = "name")
> List<User> users;
