It cannot be an object. do something like:

 > <jx:forEach var="orderz" items="${userGlobal.getUserOrders()}">
 >    <option name="order"
             value="${orderz.id}">${orderz.getOrderDate()}</option>
 > </jx:forEach>

then in flowscript:

sendPageAndWait( "showOrders.jx", { userGlobal: userGlobal } );
var orderId = cocoon.request.getParameter( "order" );

var order = resolverOrderById( orderId );

that's all.
