[jira] Created: (MYFACES-1175) requires SelectItem objects to render a parent or similar

<f:selectItems> requires SelectItem objects to render a parent <h:selectOneMenu> or similar
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: MYFACES-1175
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1175
     Project: MyFaces Core
        Type: Improvement
 Environment: Tomcat 5.5.15, Windows XP
    Reporter: Eurig Jones
    Priority: Minor


The <h:selectOneMenu> (and similar) tags require every entry to be of an instance of SelectItem! 

This turned out to be a big pain when I was fetching lots of objects from the database. I had to iterate through them all to create a duplicate Collection of SelectItem instances so I could display them in my menu dropdown. Wouldn't it be better to let objects IMPLEMENT SelectItem functionality instead of having to create a new SelectItem or extending?

This is an issue with the JSF specification, not with our implementation.

There's nothing we can do about it.  See the following link for making changes to the JSF specification.
