Thanks Stuart...

I will try the option, we need to display the list from database.

As, it is not available in richfaces 3.1.4.GA, can I directly use "richfaces-*-3.3.1.GA" jars with jboss-4.2.3, jboss-seam-2.0.2.SP1...

Hi,

I tried to display list of items (from database) in rich:comboBox directly from seam component xxxxList.java.

I am getting the whole object in dropdown but need only itemName i.e. ItemA, ItemB, ItemC in combo box

I am sure I am doing it wrong and might not be the right way, please suggest.

OUTPUT in comboBox:
-------------------
com.entity.Item@687235[ itemName=ItemA dateCreated=<null> ]
com.entity.Item@1223041[ itemName=ItemB dateCreated=<null> ]
com.entity.Item@18e0f79[ itemName=ItemC dateCreated=<null> ]

XHTML:
-----
<rich:comboBox defaultLabel="Enter some value"
     label="#{itemListHome.instance.itemName}"
     value="#{item.itemName}">                   
     <s:selectItems id="itemList" value="#{itemList.resultList}"
                    var="item" label="#{item.itemName}">                        
     </s:selectItems>                   
</rich:comboBox>

Entity:
-----
@Entity(name = "Item")
public class Item {
     protected String itemName;
     
     @Basic
     @Column(name = "ITEM_NAME")
     public String getItemName() {
          return itemName;
     }
     @Basic
     @Column(name = "DATE_CREATED")
     @Temporal(TemporalType.DATE)
     public Date getDateCreated() {
          return dateCreated;
     }
     ......
}


Default generated by seam
------------------------
@Name("itemList")
public class ItemList extends EntityQuery{
     @Override
     public String getEjbql() {
          return "select item from Item item";
     }
     ....
}
