Isn't there a simple way to tell JSF to ask the backing bean for the
SelectList again, after I've matched it with the submitted values in the
VCL? I tried setLocalValueSet(false), in hopes that it would tell JSF that
the local value needs to be updated. Not sure if this is the right method
as the javadoc only says:
Sets the "local value set" state for this component.
