[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-4713) EntityConverter should allow empty String

EntityConverter should allow empty String ----------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-4713 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-4713 Project: Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Integration Affects Versions: 2.2.1.CR2 Environment: seam 2.2.1CR2, PrimeFaces Reporter: Cody Lerum Assignee: Marek Novotny Fix For: 2.2.1.CR3 Attachments: JBSEAM-4713-P1 When using the <s:convertEntity /> tag along with a component such as primefaces autocomplete the EntityConverter will throw a NumberFormatException when it is passed an empty string as JSF is prone to do. <pf:autoComplete id="fromUserAC" value="#{emailTemplateData.fromUser}" widgetVar="fromUserAC" forceSelection="true" completeMethod="#{userLists.searchUsers}" var="_user" itemValue="#{_user}" itemLabel="#{_user.name}" selectListener="#{emailTemplateDataAddUtil.selectFromUser}" onSelectUpdate="fromUser" required="true"> <s:convertEntity /> </pf:autoComplete> The solution is to add a .isEmpty() check to the converter.
