Ok... If I remove my room lookup dropdown control from the jsp: | <h:selectOneMenu id="roomId" value="#{roomFinder.example}" converter="org.jboss.seam.EntityConverter"> | <f:selectItems value="#{roomListByOrganization}" /> | </h:selectOneMenu> | ... everything works.. the create personEditor.create method works fine. The instant I add the selectOneMenu that looks up the rooms, personEditor stops getting called. Is this a probelm with my understanding of Seam or is it a JSF or Seam bug? This seems like a very common thing that must be done over and over when developing web sites. Is there an example that show how to do this correctly?
