SelectOneChoice display label

Question

Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to influence which attributes are used to create the display text for a selectOneChoice element?
I have a dropdown box to choose the gender of a person (the forum censors the word Sex?!). My page source looks like:
<af:selectOneChoice value="#{bindings.Gender.inputValue}"
                    label="#{bindings.Gender.label}"
                    required="#{bindings.Gender.hints.mandatory}"
                    shortDesc="#{bindings.Gender.hints.tooltip}"
                    id="soc1">
    <f:selectItems value="#{bindings.Gender.items}" id="si1"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>with page binding:
<list IterBinding="MyIterator" StaticList="false" Uses="LOV_Gender" id="Gender" DTSupportsMRU="true"/>At present, because I have two attributes on the LOV, i get labels like:
M Male
F Female
When I actually just want to show one of these (not really bothered which).
I've tried both of the methods described here:
http://java2go.blogspot.com/2007/08/mastering-adf-faces-component.html
But the first has no effect (adding AttrNames child element in binding and specifying only one of the attributes) and the second doesn't seem to be possible any more (af:forEach tag is not allowed as a child of selectOneChoice).
I've tried the UI Hints on the GengerLOV object but they also seem to have no effect. What's the recommended way to do this?
Cheers

Hi,
It should work fine, if you have selected only one attribute in UI hints for GenderLOV. Please re-check if you have multiple attributes selected or only one attribute selected.
Also, In the source view of the view object, check the ListBinding and its display attributes to make sure the view object source is updated correctly.
ListBinding for LOV_Gender should be something like:
<ListBinding
Name="LOV_Gender" .. >
<AttrArray Name="ListDisplayAttrNames">
<Item Value="Gender"/> <!-- make sure only one item is available-->
</AttrArray>
</ListBinding>
