Mike, thanks for your answer.
I create the component in my bean manually and populate it with SelectItems. Do you mean using a managed property and a more complex setter as an alternative? Is this a better approach than the check in the getter? Michael -----Original Message----- From: Mike Kienenberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dienstag, 28.

Michael, That is probably a better way to handle this situation. You could also skip the getter and simply accept whatever value is provided by the setter if you are not manually creating the component.
