How is the Correct use of ui:repeat tag to build a selctOneMenu in XHTML using JBoss Seam Framework?

This is suppose to be quite simple but I have already spent couple of hours on this without solution. My fragment of code follows:

<h:selectOneMenu id="carro" value="#{abastecimentoAction.idCarroPesquisa}" required="true">
     <ui:repeat value="#{carroList.resultList}" var="_meuCarro">
        <f:selectItem itemValue="#{_meuCarro.id}" itemLabel="#{_meuCarro.nome}"/>         
        <h:outputText value="Testes"/>
     </ui:repeat>
 </h:selectOneMenu>

The point is the Testes string is correctly printed as many times as the size of carroList.resultList but no options is printed. I get a blank combo.

tx in advance.

Just managed to fix this using:

<h:selectOneMenu id="carro" value="#{abastecimentoAction.idCarroPesquisa}" required="false">
     <s:selectItems var="carro" value="#{carroList.resultList}" label="#{carro.nome}" itemValue="#{carro.id}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

That's the best solution - you might have also succeded by using <c:forEach> instead of <ui:repeat>, but if only the collection is ready at view build time and doesn't change after that. For an in-depth discussion, see this blog post.
