[ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-4163?page=com.atlassian.jira.pl... ] Jakub Janczak updated JBSEAM-4163: ---------------------------------- Description: The problem is that when you have the noSelectionLabel in s:selectItems it installs a converter chain in the h:selectOneMenu. <h:selectOneMenu converter="#{conv}" .... > <s:selectItems noSelectionLabel="#{messages['noSelectionLabel']}" /> </h:selectOneMenu> So when the #{conv} evaluates to null it blows. The problem is in the PrioritizableConverter as it has the constructor: public PrioritizableConverter(ValueExpression vb, int priority) { this.valueExpression = vb; this.priority = priority; } and then public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ConverterException { return getDelegate().getAsString(context, component, value); } public Converter getDelegate() { if (valueExpression != null) { return (Converter) valueExpression.getValue(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getELContext()); } else { return delegate; } } so if getDelegate returns null it's not able to convert. The solution would be to disable adding the PrioritizableConverter to the chain when the #{conv} evaluates to null (ConverterChain.java : 73) was: The problem is that when you have the noSelectionLabel in s:selectItems it installs a converter chain in the h:selectOneMenu. <h:selectOneMenu converter="#{conv}" .... > <s:selectItems noSelectionLabel="#{messages['noSelectionLabel']}" /> </h:selectOneMenu> So when the #{conv} evaluates to null it blows.
