Problem getting an object out of a drop down list

[beyanet.com]

Ok,
let me explain. I have a html page which presents a selection of 
previous orders made by a client. In the option value section I place 
the associated order objects of a user like so:

<jx:forEach var="orderz" items="${userGlobal.getUserOrders()}">
   <option value="${orderz}">${orderz.getOrderDate()}</option>
</jx:forEach>
The rendered html page looks like so:
        <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">2005-04-13 17:23:05.663</option>
        <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">2005-04-13 14:23:04.211</option>
        <option value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]">2005-04-13 12:22:04.096</option>
As you can see the problem I have is that test.OrderXXX is now a 
string value, but I want it to remain an object.

What I wanted to do was take the orderitem object, when the user 
selects an option from the drop-down list, pass it into another flow 
function which in turn then displays the orderitem details in another 
html page.

So how can I do this so that when it reaches the next flow function 
it is still an object and not a string?

many thanks
Uzo
