      Use a list/array that consists of SelectItem objects.

      For Example:
              cityList = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
              cityList.add(new SelectItem("TORONTO", "TORONTO"));
              cityList.add(new SelectItem("CALGARY", "CALGARY"));

      Description

      With the JSF <h:selectOneMenu> component, you can use an array of objects for the selectOneMenu options. Using the same set of objects for an <ice:selectOneMenu> does not show the options. For example:

      JSF Component Code:
      <h:selectOneMenu value="#{backingBean.city}" >
           <f:selectItems value="#{backingBean.cities}"/>
      </h:selectOneMenu>

      Backing Bean Code:
      public City[] getCities() {
              return City.values();
      }

      Testing with ICEfaces 1.8.x and JSF 1.2 showed that the array of objects does not work for both the JSF and ICEfaces components. It looks like something was changed on the JSF component and this has not been changed with the ICEfaces components.

          Try it outside the tab to see if it's specific to the tab or not, pls.

          Initial JIRA description was in regards to the converters not being called. Upon further review of the test case from the forum post it became evident that this issue was an issue with the component option values. When changing the values to the list of SelectItem objects the converters are called without any problems.

          Enum support added to selectItems. There won't be any need for a Converter.
