JSF Selectitems Format Label Number

I've got a List of Numbers (range 500 - 5000, steps of 500). I would like to add a decimal dot 1000 -> 1.000; 2500 -> 2.500 etc. but just for the labels not to be saved as a value. I tried the following but it didnt work:

<h:selectOneMenu value="#{bean.selectedValue}">
    <f:convertNumber type="currency" locale="de-DE" pattern="#,###" />
    <f:selectItems itemValue="#{bean.selectItemslist}" var="item" itemLabel="#{item.label}" itemValue="#{item.value} />
</h:selectOneMenu>

But this didnt do anything :(

Tried several patterns and included integerOnly="true" but nothing seems to work :( Thanks for your help!

The converter applies on the item value only, not on the item label. That explains why it "fails". In this particular case, your best bet is to create a custom EL function, so that you end up something like this:

<f:selectItems ... itemLabel="#{my:formatNumber(item.label, '#,###')}" />

The JSF utility library OmniFaces has several, see also OmniFaces functions/Numbers showcase.
