using SelectItem with a null value
I notice that both the JSF 1.2 RI and MyFaces throw
NullPointerExceptions if you try to construct a SelectItem with a null
object value. Why? Null is ideal for specifying a "nothing
selected" selection.
Worse, you can bypass the check simply by doing
item = new SelectItem();
item.setLabel("Select an option")
instead of
item = new SelectItem(null, "Select an option"))
