      public abstract class AbstractSelect
      extends AbstractSelectComponent
      implements SelectItemsInterface, MetaComponentResolver, MetaComponentEncoder, CoreProps, DisabledProps, EventsKeyProps, EventsMouseProps, SelectProps, AutocompleteProps, SelectItemsProps

  The <rich:select> component provides a drop-down list box for selecting a single value from multiple options. The <rich:select> component can be configured as a combo-box, where it will accept typed input. The component also supports keyboard navigation. The <rich:select> component functions similarly to the JSF UISelectOne component.

  The <rich:select> can optionally be used in an auto-completing mode, where the values in the drop-down list are provided dynamically using either the autocompleteMethod or autocompleteList attributes. If these attributes are omitted, the component operates in the traditional non-auto-completing mode. Refer to the individual attribute documentation to see which attributes are applicable only with an auto-completing select list.
