Here's a thought experiment: If you did a "view source" on your page what do you want to appear as the value in the option tag? In other words, what would be where the "XXX" is below?
<option value="XXX">A name from the list</option> The "only" thing HTTP will send is a string. S2's type conversion can be used to convert the string to something else (like, say, an Integer or a Long, or anything else if you have appropriate type conversion in place). This value may be *used* to instantiate an object of the desired type, but it will be instantiated using whatever string value is sent as the value of the <select...>. The shorter answer is "you can't do that, that's not how web apps work".
