How to get selected item value and display text in selectOneChoice ?

Question

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I bind the a selectOneChoice component to my backing bean so i have an object which represent this component in the backing bean.
now i need to find which item is selected by use , i know that i can use
getSelect_service().getValue.toString() , but it will return the value of the selected item, how about its display text ?
I should say that i create an static list for selectOneChoice items.
thanks

Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, freshly downloaded off OTN. I used the following code to try and identify the problem you are encountering. I attempted to use a valueChangeListener in combination with af:selectOneChoice components that use SelectItems and the singular SelectItem. I could not reproduce the error in either case. Please post more information about your development environment.
          <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 1"
                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice1}"
                              id="selectOneChoice1"
                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
            <af:selectItem label="1" value="1"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem1}"
                           id="selectItem1"/>
            <af:selectItem label="2" value="2"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem2}"
                           id="selectItem2"/>
            <af:selectItem label="3" value="3"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem3}"
                           id="selectItem3"/>
          </af:selectOneChoice>
          <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 2"
                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice2}"
                              id="selectOneChoice2"                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
            <f:selectItems value="#{backing_test.items}"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItems1}"
                           id="selectItems1"/>
          </af:selectOneChoice>
    public void valueChangeListener(ValueChangeEvent evt){
        // returns a UISelectOneChoice object
        System.out.println(evt.getSource().getClass().getName());
        // returns a string
        System.out.println(evt.getNewValue().getClass().getName());
    public Map getItems(){
        items = new HashMap();
        items.put("11","11");
        items.put("12","12");
        items.put("13","13");
        return items;
    }
