Description
ace:autoCompleteEntry, ace:comboBox, ace:selectMenu, and ace:simpleSelectOneMenu have some flaws in the way they handle conversion.
These components need to convert the values in option items when rendering their lists of results. This is to support complex objects being converted to a string and vice versa. When the values are plain strings or objects that translate easily to a string, there are usually no issues, but when using a custom object as the value, the conversion might not go as expected.
In short, all rendered values (not labels) of option items need to go through conversion from object to string at render time. The current value of the component will have to go through the same process. After decoding, the Renderer superclass methods can handle properly the conversion from string to object, so we don't have to interfere or override those methods.

Found error in SimpleSelectOneMenuRenderer.populateList():
if (!selectedFound && value != null && value.toString().equals((String) itemValue))
{ selected = " selected=\"selected\""; selectedFound = true; }value should be converted by getConvertedValueForClient(), not by simple toString(). Currently it's impossible to update selected value from the bean for lookups containing objects.
