Description

<h:selectOneMenu>
<f:selectItems value="#

{model.selectItemsWithNonStringValue}

" />
</h:selectOneMenu>

if SelectItem.getValue() returns other type than String and there is no converter for that type, myfaces throw exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Value is no String
at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.renderkit.RendererUtils.getConvertedStringValue(RendererUtils.java:633)

at org.apache.myfaces.shared_impl.renderkit.html.HtmlRendererUtils.renderSelectOptions(HtmlRendererUtils.java:538)

RI does not throw a exception but with quietness outputs toString() as <option> value.
