Not sure if this will work with
<h:selectOneMenu
but you could try it this way. I have done this with a commandLink.
<h:commandLink id="manufacturer_x"
action="go_Test" actionListener="#{testList.execute}">
<f:param name="queryTableParam" value="ALL" />
</h:commandLink>
Inside bean.
public void execute(ActionEvent event) {
queryTable = (String) map.get("queryTableParam");
//then call whatever you need to do
this.go();
}
