[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - EntityConverter - when and how?

[irVega]

Is there a layman's (but accurate and clear) description of what entity converters are for and how to use them.

I read everything google threw at me (search string: seam convertEntity) including 
http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=SeamEntityConverter
but am none the more certain about the precise intention. 

Is it to convert an id (selected by the user from dropdown list, for example) to a full blown entity? Do you have an example use-case (in English, not code)?
