public class UISelectItems
extends UIComponentBase

UISelectItems is a component that may be nested inside a UISelectMany or UISelectOne component, and causes the addition of one or more SelectItem instances to the list of available options in the parent component. The value of this component (set either directly, or acquired indirectly a ValueExpression, can be of any of the following types:

• Single instance of SelectItem - This instance is added to the set of available options for the parent tag.
• Array of SelectItem - This set of instances is added to the set of available options for the parent component, in ascending subscript order.
• Collection of SelectItem - This set of instances is added to the set of available options for the parent component, in the order provided by an iterator over them.
• Map - The keys of this object (once converted to Strings) are assumed to be labels, and the values of this object (once converted to Strings) are assumed to be values, of SelectItem instances that will be constructed dynamically and added to the set of available options for the parent component, in the order provided by an iterator over the keys.
