I have a .xhtml file with p:selectOneMenu and p:outputLabel inside. p:selectOneMenu is populated from the bean with f:selectItems. In the bean it is a List<SelectItem> where SelectItems have value, label and description.
My goal is to show description of the selected item in the p:outputLabel without making an ajax call to the bean. I can only find values in the DOM tree. I believe it is stored somewhere and I can access it with JS or use some JSF tools.
