JSF Components: Button Groups and Menus

• Require two properties:
  • the collection of possible choices
  • the actual choice
• The value attribute specifies the actual choice to be displayed
• The collection of possible choices is defined by a nested f:selectItems tag

  <h:selectOneRadio value="#{creditCard.expirationMonth}"
        layout="pageDirection">
     <f:selectItems value="#{creditCard.monthChoices}"/>
  </h:selectOneRadio>

• monthChoices must have a type that can describe a list of choices
  • For example, Map
  • The keys of the map are the labels
  • The corresponding map values are the label values
