[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: @Convert and overriding standard types

Hmm, what I was seeing on JBoss 4.0.5, which should be MyFaces on JSF 1.1, is that my converter wasn't being called at all in either direction when I tried to override forClass=String.class. What I've written is a quick converter to translate empty Strings into null. This makes my DB happier (as well as my equals()). Currently when I take input from a form and don't populate fields, they become empty strings. I'm trying to replace that default semantic with my Seam @Convert converter. Works great if I specify a <f:converter> everywhere, but that's kind of a drag. On the whole I still love being able to register a JSF converter with two annotations. Thanks Seam. PS: Perhaps this is an issue with MyFaces. As you say, the spec may not be clear. I'm looking forward to JBoss 4.2 and the 1.2 RI. (yea I know I could hack 4.0.5, but I'm not gunna :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4037247#...
