<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?
