I'm using a h:selectOneMenu componenent and setting it's initial value using
the 'value' attribute i.e.
<h:selectOneMenu value="#{backing.configNetworkEntity}">
This is working when on the initial page visit, but subsequent visits don't
work. I know the backing.configNetworkEntity object is set because I can
display it's value in the page using EL.
Diging into the code I see that in HtmlRendererUtils.renderSelectOptions the
selected attribute is written when the the String version of SelectItem.value
is included in 'lookupSet'.
'lookupSet' is build from the submittedValue or if its null the 'value' of the
object. However, submittedValue is never null as
HtmlRendererUtils.decodeUISelectOne sets submitted value to
RendererUtils.NOTHING if the request doesn't contain a parameter for the
selectOne menu.
Have I discovered a bug, or do I need to do something different to set the
inital value of the combo box?
Thanks
John
