Set property on Beanform select

[Peter Stavrinides <p....@albourne.com>]

Hi All,

We use the occasional beanform on our site which generates some select 
boxes, recent snapshots introduced the blankOption property, a handy 
feature, but it appears to have a default value of "literal:auto" , the 
trouble with this is that it introduces a null/empty field in every 
beanform select component, which in-turn introduces the potential for 
NPE's, so we need to override this default somehow with 
blankOption="never", how do we do this?

We have have explored a work around by using the @Validate annotation, 
but this only works for a select using an enumeration... in most cases 
we use a custom SelectionModel, so we are looking for a better option. 
The beanform should provide an easy way to toggle this property or you 
pretty much have to supersede every select with your own override 
diminishing the automation in the beanform, as I see it this is the very 
reason one wants to use it, so it would be a pity if there isn't a 
workaround.

thanks for your help,
Peter
