ADF Faces: Making a selectOneChoice in java code?

Question

I need to make a selectOneChoice to reuse in my pages (country selection) but can't seem to find how to do it on the web?
here is what i've attempted with the error output...
-------------------- the java code:
public void contextInitialized(ServletContextEvent event)
ServletContext servletContext = event.getServletContext();
Utils.log(servletContext, "Initializing Supply Chain Management System...");
// intitilize selectOne component
CoreSelectOneChoice countrySelectOne = new CoreSelectOneChoice();
List countrySelectItems = new ArrayList();
CountryCoordinator countryCoordinator = new CountryCoordinator();
try
List all = countryCoordinator.getAllCountries();
Iterator i = all.iterator();
for(;i.hasNext();)
Object object = i.next();
CoreSelectItem item = new CoreSelectItem();
item.setValue((Country)object);
item.setLabel(((Country)object).getCountry_name());
countrySelectItems.add(item);
// place the list of select items into the selectOne component
countrySelectOne.setValue(countrySelectItems);
servletContext.setAttribute("countrySelectOne", countrySelectOne);
Utils.log(servletContext, "Initializing Countries [SUCCESS]");
} catch(Exception e)
Utils.log(servletContext, "Initializing Countries [FAILED]");
Utils.log(servletContext, "Initialization complete...");
------------------------------ the JSP:
<af:selectOneChoice label="#{bundle.ADDRESS_COUNTRY}:" required="#{region_entity_address.required_entity_address_country}" binding="#{applicationScope.countrySelectOne}"/>
------------------------------ the error:

That's right. JSF produces such IDs. They are causing problems with JAAS login forms, so we should use plain JSPs for login, but for the rest of the tasks such IDs are okay.
What I meant is that currenty the buttons are not rendered as
<input type="button" ... />but as pictures embedded in hyperlinks (&lt;a>).
It's possible, though not likely, that in some future version of ADF Faces some component will be rendered as an HTML element that doesn't support tab ordering (although I haven't really considered if there are such elements). Then the trick with manually setting the tabIndex of the parent HTML element won't work.
Of course, I deeply appreciate the fact that you take the time to help us on this forum. In fact, I will go ahead and do just that -- I will dynamically set the tabIndex via JavaScript. I was simply wanting to make sure that I wasn't taking such a hack-like approach, if there was a better method.
Thank you again.
