I 'm getting the following error in above mentioned code:Expected a child component type of UISelectItem/UISelectItems for component type javax.faces.SelectOne(underwriters). Found null. How can I solve this error?

  • `h:selectOneMenu` needs a `value` attribute. Check out [selectOneMenu info page](http://stackoverflow.com/tags/selectonemenu/info). – Elias Dorneles Aug 01 '12 at 13:53
  • @eljunior: that's not required and is also not what the exception suggests. – BalusC Aug 01 '12 at 14:02
  • @BalusC I know that the attribute isn't required, but isn't the result of `value` necessary for conversion to work? – Elias Dorneles Aug 01 '12 at 15:42

You can get this exception when #{PeerReviewBean.underwriters} in the particular code snippet has returned null. Fix your backing bean code accordingly so that it never returns null.
