firefox - Primefaces selectOneMenu with Selenium webdriver does not select the item + Java -

i need set value on p:selectonemenu during selenium test having problem set value. here code used that:

{ driver.findelement(by.id("myform:meselection_label")).click(); driver.findelement(by.xpath("//div[@id='myform:meselection_panel']/div[2]/ul/li[text() = 'mytext']")).click(); } 

problem not select selection, tried use index on li (e.g. /li[2]) second item. when run test shows dropdown list , can see elements in not select element. , yes, have converter on object. tried selenium ide , put xpath in there same above , works fine, in test case in java not select element @ all.

i searched net , forums not find solutions it. seams people had problems no answers posted on these questions.

here pom.xml dependencies testing:

{  <dependency>         <groupid>org.seleniumhq.selenium.client-drivers</groupid>         <artifactid>selenium-java-client-driver</artifactid>         <version>1.0.2</version>         <scope>test</scope>     </dependency>     <dependency>         <groupid>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupid>         <artifactid>selenium-java</artifactid>         <version>2.40.0</version>     </dependency>      <dependency>         <groupid>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupid>         <artifactid>selenium-firefox-driver</artifactid>         <version>2.40.0</version>     </dependency>  } 

any appreciated.

for select lists need create selenium select object.

webelement = find         element(by.cssselector("whatever select is")) select s = new select(we); s.selectbyvalue("value select") 

pseudo code didn't test it
