I'm a bit stuck on how best to use the Richfaces Suggestion box with an EntityConverter. I'd like to use it in a similar fashion to the s:selectItem - in that it sets a field value to an entity (eg. setting CITY in PERSON) while displaying a label (eg. CITY.CITYNAME). The SuggestionBox returns it's value to an h:inputText. I've tried using the converter attribute of that and setting it to org.jboss.seam.EntityConverter. This doesn't work. The input box contains a value representing the entity (eg. com.something.somethingElse.City@798ef6) and when I save it a validation error is thrown "Selected item cannot be loaded from persistence context" Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks in advance, Damian. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4028966#...
