Hello there, I got a simple menu using | <ice:selectOneMenu id="#{messages['region']}" styleClass="selectTagMenu" value="#{siteList.selectedRegion}" | partialSubmit="true"> | <s:selectItems value="#{regions.resultList}" var="region" | label="#{region.name}" noSelectionLabel="Select..."/> | <s:convertEntity /> | </ice:selectOneMenu> | <ice:commandButton value="#{messages['reset']}" | action="#{siteList.reset}" / | This is all wonderful and the list is displayed. However if I don't select anything (as it is optional) and click the command button the value of the selectOneMenu is "Select..." and the EntityConverter gets confused in | public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent cmp, String value) throws ConverterException | { | if (value == null) | { | return null; | } | Integer key = new Integer(value); | Class clazz = EntityConverterStore.instance().getClass(key); | Object id = EntityConverterStore.instance().getId(key); | return loadEntityFromPersistenceContext(clazz, id); | } | the value is a string and not null. Hence new Integer(value) fails. Am I missing something or is there an easy fix short from not using entities directly or leaving out the noSelectionLabel? Your help is appreciated.
