H:selectOneMenu and its value parameter trouble

Question

Hello!
I have a form in my jsp page ^
<h:dataTable id="table" value="#{Reference.template.fields}" var="list" rowClasses="list_row_odd, list_row_even" columnClasses="align_right, align_left" width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1">
            <h:column rendered="#{(list.label != 'code')}">
              <h:outputText value="#{list.label}" escape="false"/>
            </h:column>
            <h:column rendered="#{(list.optionsSize < 1)&&(list.label != 'code')}">
              <h:inputText id="ref_input" value="#{Reference.faculty}" readonly="true" rendered="#{list.label == '&#1060;&#1072;&#1082;&#1091;&#1083;&#1100;&#1090;&#1077;&#1090;'}" size="50"/>
              <h:inputText id="ref_input_1" value="#{list.value}" rendered="#{(list.label != '&#1060;&#1072;&#1082;&#1091;&#1083;&#1100;&#1090;&#1077;&#1090;') && (list.value == '')}" size="50"/>
              <h:inputText id="ref_input_2" value="#{list.value}" readonly="true" rendered="#{(list.label != '&#1060;&#1072;&#1082;&#1091;&#1083;&#1100;&#1090;&#1077;&#1090;') && (list.value != '')}" size="50"/>
            </h:column>
            <h:column rendered="#{(list.optionsSize > 0) && (list.label != 'code')}">
// here is the problem -----------------------------
              <h:selectOneMenu id="list" value="#{list.value}">
                <f:selectItems value="#{list.options}" />
              </h:selectOneMenu>
            </h:column>
            <h:column rendered="#{(list.label != 'code')}">
              <h:outputText value="#{list.lov}" escape="false"/>
            </h:column>
          </h:dataTable>the trouble is if there is a value parameter, the form is submitted to server
as empty one, if there isn't value parameter it works well.
list.getValue - returns String
and i strongly need to show the selected value!!!1
Please help

I'm not talking about JavaScript.
I would like to write my own Java function:
String formatStatus(String status, Date date) {
If (status.equals("A"))
return "Active from date " + date;
else
return "Not active";
and then to replace inside my dataTable's column:
<h:outputText id="text2" value="#{varpaketi.status}" />
with:
<h:outputText id="text2" value="#{pc_Paketi.formatStatus($status, $date)}" />
where $status and $date are dataset variables which were displayed in column of my datatable.
