Ok, I guess I'll have to make methods to covert my Collections to new
Collections/Maps or probably just convert them to a SelectItem[]
array.

This is one area that I believe will/should need to be addressed
moving forward. Often times Collections are brought back from backend
methods that are already in place and the developers are forced to
use. It's now pretty a much a pain to have to call
dackend.getAnimals(),  backend.getEmployees(),
backend.getCollectionOfFooBars(), only to have to then convert that
Collection into something that can be used nicely by the front end for
select options.

When I finally get up to speed with this stuff, I'll see if I can help
contribute a tag to help.
