s:selectItems and f:convertDateTime

[rpie]

I am trying to display a drop-down containing a list of dates, however I have issues using s:selectItems and f:convertDateTime together. referralDetailsBean.selectedCallbackToHour is an ArrayList of Date objects.

I tried :

<h:selectOneMenu id="CallBackToBoxId" value="#{referralDetailsBean.selectedCallbackToHour}">
     <s:selectItems var="_callbackHour" value="#{referralDetailsBean.displayedCallbackHours}" noSelectionLabel="(None)" itemValue="#{_callbackHour}"/>
     <f:convertDateTime pattern="hh:mm aa"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

The only way to do it seems to use the f:selectItem tag, and iterate on it with the bad c:foreach tag, but this not acceptable for me. The code below works fine

<h:selectOneMenu id="CallBackToBoxId" value="#{referralDetailsBean.selectedCallbackToHour}">
     <c:forEach var="_callbackHour" items="#{referralDetailsBean.displayedCallbackHours}">
          <f:selectItem itemValue="#{_callbackHour}"/>
     </c:forEach>
     <f:convertDateTime pattern="hh:mm aa"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>

Any idea ?
