I could - if it was a simple matter of extracting the strings from the POJOs. Problem is that, once an option is selected, I need the underlying POJOs to become the model for the rest of the form. Yes, there's probably a way to hack this, but I would prefer to do this in a clean fashion.
I already got the custom renderer working, so I'm making progress. Task #2 now is to grab the underlying POJO after selecting it and populate the remainder of the form. This seems to be the tough part... Again, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!
