This may be so obvious I'm just looking right past it, but, in JSF2 (Mojarra, Glassfish 3.0.1):
If I have a h:selectOneMenu control in a JSF2 page with a value bound to a List<SomeDomainType>, is there any way to permit an empty/null selection? The menu defaults to having the first item selected when it's rendered, and doesn't have any blank or placeholder first row, even if required=false .
I can insert a dummy value in the list and alter my FacesConverter to handle it, but that seems awfully ugly for something that's a pretty basic piece of functionality. Is there some simple way I'm missing?
