JSF selectonemenu default selection

I have a selectOnemenu in my jsp. I have it populating just fine with an array of SelectItem, but how can I set the item selected by default ??

<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="textFields"
                             value="#{userProfile.periodEnding}"  >
              <f:selectItems value="#{infoverificationController.selectItems}" />             
            </h:selectOneMenu>

This worked, but I needed to remove the <f:selectItems> otherwise it added twice.

// backing bean code
	
public HtmlSelectOneMenu getPeriodEndings(){
  HtmlSelectOneMenu menu = new HtmlSelectOneMenu();
  UISelectItems items = new UISelectItems();
  items.setValue(selectItems);
  menu.getChildren().add(items);
  // i set "selected" in the method that populates my arraylist.
  menu.setValue(selected);
  return menu;
}
 
// jsp code 
<h:selectOneMenu styleClass="textFields"
      binding="#{infoverificationController.periodEndings}"
      value="#{userProfile.periodEnding}"  >
</h:selectOneMenu>
