The radio list "selectOneRadio" is very similar to the "selectOneMenu"
in that both require child "selectItems" component or "selectItem"s
components.
So, there is not really any html equivalentcy but you can use a "select"
and supply a jsfid of "selectOneRadio". But, this won't give you the
html mockup.
<select jsfid="selectOneRadio">
<option value="1"> One
<option value="2">Two
</select>
Another option would be to use the "void" jsfid and span tags.
<span jsfid=void allowbody=false>
<input type=radio value=1>
</span>
<span jsfid="selectOneRadio"><span jsfid=selectItem itemValue=One
itemLabel=1/><span jsfid=selectItem itemValue=Two itemLabel=2/></span>
So, the first span bound to a "void" jsfid will be removed. The second will
represent the radio list.
But, the "selectOneRadio" can not have any whitespace characters. The html
parser actually
adds whitespace as a verbatim components. All of the html template is
represented by
components. This is different than how JSP handles the view. Clay's method is
actually much
simpler than trying to interweave jsp output with component output. Anyway,
the
selectOneRadio component will not allow a verbatim/outputText child component.
The html "select" has an implicit mapping to the "selectOneMenu" component.
The builder
knows to strip out html white space nodes under the "select" node.
I guess this is a bug. We should handle this for the span node like the select
node or
allow the html input node to allow children. The parser assumes that the
"input"
node is self terminating.

The duplicate id is coming from the fact that you have given all the components
the same html name attribute. The name or id attribute is mapped to
the component's id. You are correct on the "selectOneRadio" mapping.
I think that I've given you a couple options but please file a bug ticket on
this one.
