You can pass the parameters from JSF page to the backing beans 's action method using the Method expression (For JSF 2.0) ,or <f:param> ,or <f:attribute> , or f:setPropertyActionListener .

You can refer to http://www.mkyong.com/jsf2/4-ways-to-pass-parameter-from-jsf-page-to-backing-bean/ for reference.

Try something like this:

<h:form> 
  <h:selectOneMenu value="#{foo.theChosenValue}"
    required="true" valueChangeListener="#{foo.processValueChange}"
    onchange="this.form.submit();">
        <s:selectItems
                       value="#{userAction.roleArray}"
                       var="role" label="#{role}"
                       noSelectionLabel="Please select" />
     <s:convertEnum />
  </h:selectOneMenu>
</h:form>

Your component should then:

@Name("foo")
public class Foo {
    @Getter @Setter Enum theChosenValue; //I don't know your type

    public void processValueChange(ValueChangeEvent value) throws AbortProcessingException {
        if (value != null) {
            if (value.getNewValue() instanceof Enum) {
                this.theChosenValue = (Enum) value.getNewValue();
            }
        }
    }
}
