SuggestionBox: why no "converter" attribute? -------------------------------------------- Key: RF-10943 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10943 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Affects Versions: 3.3.1 Reporter: Markus Staab Assignee: Nick Belaevski We want to use a converter for the rich:suggestionbox. Our use-case is the following: we try to develop a component which we use for city and postal suggestions, depending on a country. So we use 1 selectMenu and 2 inputText fields in a facelet. For the suggestions of this component we have a dedicated backing bean, which offeres the suggestionActions. In the suggestionActions we need information about the AddressModell which backs whole address-sections in our applications (city +postal+country are only a small part of such an model). Our idea was to use a converter to set the city/postal property on those AddressModell's and then have this AddressModell passed to the suggestionAction. Therefore we return in the converters getAsObject()-method the object we want the framework to pass to the suggestion handler. But since the suggestionsbox doesn't support the converter tag, it doesn't take our converter into account...
