     <p>The list of items can be defined as an <code>&lt;f:selectItems /&gt;</code> tag. BootsFaces uses a modified version of the
     algorithm PrimeFaces 5.1 uses to implement <code>&lt;f:selectItems /&gt;</code>. As a result, you can use <code>&lt;b:selectOneMenu&gt;</code>
     almost the same way as <code>&lt;b:selectOneMenu&gt;</code>. </p>
     <b:alert severity="danger">Due to a bug, arrays and hashmaps can be used to display the combobox, but the
     user input is not processed correctly by the server. This bug will be fixed in the next version of BootsFaces.</b:alert>
