[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (SEAMFACES-28) ObjectConverter and EntityConverter

ObjectConverter and EntityConverter ----------------------------------- Key: SEAMFACES-28 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-28 Project: Seam Faces Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Transactions & Persistence, Validation & Conversion Reporter: Pete Muir Assignee: Jason Porter Priority: Critical Fix For: 3.1.0.Beta5 Given class Foo { Bar bar; // Getters and setters List<Bar> bars; // Getters and setters } <h:selectOneMenu value="#{foo.bar}" > <f:selectItems value="#{foo.bars}" var="bar" itemLabel="#{bar.label}" itemValue="#{bar}" /> <s:convertEntity /> || <s:convertObject /> </h:selectOneMenu> I want to be able to have my setter/getter reference an object and not write the boilerplate for converting to/from a string. I also want to reference a managed entity, and have that managed entity set back into the setter so I can see the changes updated in the database with no boilerplate, and avoid LIEs.
