Dear Mike,
Changing the return type of my backing variable to:
public Set getLoggedDropDownActionsEntrySet(){
this.getLoggedDropDownActions().entrySet();
}
Solved the problem.
Thanks a lot,
Joost Schouten

Sorry, I didn't notice you were using t:selectItems in the first part
of the message.
Here's the issue:
myBean.loggedDropDownActions.entrySet
would be resolved as
myBean.getLoggedDropDownActions().getEntrySet()
and not as
myBean.getLoggedDropDownActions().entrySet()
So your value list would be null/empty.
Not sure about clay, but facelets would allow you to define a static
function where you could get the entry set value....
#{myFunctions:entrySet(myBean.loggedDropDownActions)}
I suppose you could just define
public Map.Entry getLoggedDropDownActionsEntrySet()
