Here is an example of the method in the page backing bean
public Option[] getOptions() {
List<Option> options = new ArrayList<Option>();
personDataProvider.cursorFirst();
Option firstOption = new Option(personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID"), (String) personDataProvider.getValue("
PERSON.NAME"));
options.add(firstOption);
Option filler = new Option(99999, "----------");
options.add(filler);
while (personDataProvider.cursorNext()) {
Option option = new Option(personDataProvider.getValue("PERSON.PERSONID"), (String) personDataProvider.getValue("
PERSON.NAME"));
options.add(option);
}
return options.toArray(new Option[options.size()]);
}
Here is the component binding
<webuijsf:dropDown id="dropDown2" items="#{Page1.options}" label="Option List With Filler" style="left: 72px; top: 72px; position: absolute"/>
Here is an example of how to do it including source code on my blog.

Hi, :D
I got a question about the Drop Down List component for the visual web.
I got a binding to a database for the component items, there are four of them the component is something like this:
[1, "Value one"]
[2, "Value two"]
[3, "Value three"]
[4, "Value four"]
But I need to do this plus something more:
[1, ""]
[___________]
[2, "Value one"]
[2, "Value two"]
[2, "Value three"]
[2, "Value four"]
I mean, I want a first value with no label, a line separator and the database values.
Is this posible???
Can anybody helpme with this please.
Thanks!!
