Simon,
thank you for your answer, I modified the getter/setter to handle
SelectItem.getValue().toString() instead of the selectItem itself.
But had you ever the chance to take a look at the jsftags-guide examples
(http://www.exadel.com/tutorial/jsf/jsftags-guide.html)?
They are using the SelectItems directly.
Where's the difference?
