Not exactly an Seam issue but I wonder how you have tackled similar problems: How can I bind a SelectBooleanCheckbox to a String field ("Y" or "N")? I tried writing a converted but it didn't fire correctly. Well, I read that according to the JSF spec, it shouldn't even. And there is no truevalue/falsevalue properties available, either :-/ I tried to do the conversion in the setter/getter but that interfered with both the validation and the loading from db. Is there a prettier solution than adding a dummy boolean setter/getter alongside the real one in the entity?
