Introduction

Easy SelectItems is an extended version of javax.faces.component.UISelectItems. By using the component there is no need to manually create a SelectItem collection because EasySI automatically populates SelectItem objects from types like Collection, Map and etc.

Dependencies

EasySI has no dependency other than a JSF implementation. Although MyFaces is used during development process, the component is also compatible with RI or Trinidad.
