UISelectOne properties accept the same types as UIInput and UIOutput properties, because a UISelectOne component represents the single selected item from a set of items. This item can be any of the primitive types and anything else for which you can apply a converter.
Here is an example of the selectOneMenu tag from Displaying a Menu Using the h:selectOneMenu Tag:
<h:selectOneMenu id="shippingOption" required="true" value="#{cashier.shippingOption}"> <f:selectItem itemValue="2" itemLabel="#{bundle.QuickShip}"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="5" itemLabel="#{bundle.NormalShip}"/> <f:selectItem itemValue="7" itemLabel="#{bundle.SaverShip}"/> </h:selectOneMenu>
Here is the bean property corresponding to this tag:
protected String shippingOption = "2"; public void setShippingOption(String shippingOption) { this.shippingOption = shippingOption; } public String getShippingOption() { return this.shippingOption; }
Note that shippingOption represents the currently selected item from the list of items in the UISelectOne component.
The UISelectItem and UISelectItems components are used to represent all the values in a UISelectOne component. This is explained in the section Displaying a Menu Using the h:selectOneMenu Tag.
For information on how to write the backing bean properties for the UISelectItem and UISelectItems components, see UISelectItem Properties and UISelectItems Properties.
