Yes. The entityConverter very handy, but (to me) it's really a bit of a hack (which is why I didn't include it in 1.1.5). I think it's probably better kept separate for now at least. So, I've been working on a separate version of the converter (which is basically ready) - but ran into http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-755. For now, you can either use s:selectItems or si:selectItems (or a mixture of both in your app). Using the entityconverter from 1.1.1beta4 should work fine afaik (you'll just have to attach it manually each time using si:convertEntity - or do the same using a facelets component handler or similar). So, direction wise, I plan to fix JBSEAM-755 for 1.1.6, and also post the separate entityconverter. And I do have some ideas about a better way of doing this - I just need to work through them :) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4010221#...
