Hello Simon, Your approach is to give the Element in the backing bean the value, like this:
The bean has the List with the Wrapped Items and one of the items you want to set with the List in it: private List<SelectItem> indexTypesForSuche; private GeVoSuchtyp selectedIndexType; public List<SelectItem> getIndexTypesForSuche() { return indexTypesForSuche; } public GeVoSuchtyp getSelectedIndexType() { return selectedIndexType; } public void setSelectedIndexType(GeVoSuchtyp pSelectedIndexType) { selectedIndexType = pSelectedIndexType; } Then, I would preselect the Object with a value from the List in the constructor: public DokumentSuchenBean() { indexTypesForSuche = new ArrayList<SelectItem>(); for (Iterator<GeVoSuchtyp> iterator = jFlowBean.getCodePool().getGeVoSuchtypListe().iterator(); iterator.hasNext();) { GeVoSuchtyp lSuchtyp = iterator.next(); indexTypesForSuche.add(new SelectItem(lSuchtyp, lSuchtyp .toString(), lSuchtyp.toString(), false)); } if(setSelectedIndexType.size>0) { setSelectedIndexType(indexTypesForSuche.get(0).getValue()) } } The jspx would look like this: <tr:selectOneChoice value="#{DokumentSuchenBean.selectedIndexType}" > <f:selectItems value="#{DokumentSuchenBean.indexTypesForSuche}"/> </tr:selectOneChoice> Mit freundlichen Grüßen Tobias Eisenträger Softwareentwickler Dokumentenmanagement/Workflow/Internet, AKB 8125 ARAG IT GmbH ARAG Platz 1, 40472 Düsseldorf Tel.: +49 (0)211 964-1937 tobias.eisentrae...@arag.de www.ARAG.de Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Gerd Peskes Vorstand: Dr. Paul-Otto Faßbender (Vors.), Dr. Jan-Peter Horst, Dr. Johannes Kathan, Werner Nicoll, Hanno Petersen, Dr. Joerg Schwarze Sitz und Registergericht: Düsseldorf, HRB 1371 USt-ID-Nr.: DE 119 355 995 > -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- > Von: schneidc [mailto:simon.w...@gmx.de] > Gesendet: Donnerstag, 25.
