/**
 * Builds a selection list that will take its values from the flow page data. The items list and,
 * for each item, its value and label, are fetched using JXPath expressions.
 * <p>
 * If an item has no label, its value is used as the label.
 * <p>
 * Example:
 * <pre>
 *   &lt;wd:selection-list type="flow-jxpath"
 *       list-path="selectList" value-path="value" label-path="label"/gt;
 * </pre>
 * Flow script:
 * <pre>
 *   var data = {
 *      selectList: [{value:3, label:"three"}, {value:4}]
 *   };
 *   form.showForm("form.html", data);
 * </pre>
