Description

<s:select size="1"
name="rate"
list="rates"
listKey="id"
listValue="name"
emptyOption="false"
label="...."/>

Action has properties
private Byte rate;
private ArrayList<OptionBean> rates;

class OptionBean implements Serializable {
private Byte id;
private String name;
}

generated select tag does not recognize selected value.
If I switch Byte to String then it works.

I would like set OptionBean containing 'id' of type Object.
And I tried it with different types of Objects (String, Byte) but only String worked.
I believe it should support all object types with correctly implemented 'equals'.

If it matters - form is of theme "ajax".
