Internationalization of SelectOneMenu (Dropdown) display val

Good afternoon,

I am wondering exactly how do you Internationalize the display values that are used in the drop-down list (following component)

<h:selectOneMenu required="true" value="#action.rowData.active}">
 <f:selectItems value="#{action.activeValues}" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

I would like use a token that I haved in my messages.properties files and then specify that token when I create the SelectItem but I don't think it supports this.

Any ideas?

Very easily.
new SelectItem(myObject, "any string, for example from a resourceBundle");

Cheers,

Damian.

Thanks for that, although that was fairly obvious, I was actually hoping for something along the lines of
new SelectItem(myObject, "key1");
where
key1
was defined in my
message.properties
file and the lookup of the message bundle and corresponding key was done completely by the RichFaces component (i.e. not my class)
