[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Problem with custom converter for class access in facelets u

[Rincewind77]

I try to register a custom converter for my business model enums in Seam 2.0.1.GA. This works fine until I do use facelets EL to access my properties.

That's my enum:
public enum Gender {
  | 	MALE, FEMALE
  | }

Here's my converter (it's not finished, I know ;-):
@Name("genderConverter")
  | @org.jboss.seam.annotations.faces.Converter(forClass = Gender.class)
  | public class GenderConverter implements Converter, Serializable {
  | 
  | 	private static final long serialVersionUID = 3237852262587078904L;
  | 
  | 	public Object getAsObject(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, String string) {
  | // TODO
  | 		return Gender.MALE;
  | 	}
  | 	public String getAsString(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uiComponent, Object object) {
  | 		String retVal = null;
  | 		if (object instanceof Enum) {
  | 			final Enum<Gender> instance = (Enum<Gender>) object;
  | 			final String resourceKey = instance.name();
  | 			// final String resourceKey = instance.getClass().getName() + "." +
  | 			// instance.name();
  | 			try {
  | 				retVal = ResourceBundle.instance().getString(resourceKey);
  | 			} catch (MissingResourceException e) {
  | 				// Ignore
  | 				System.out.println(e);
  | 			}
  | 			if ("".equals(retVal)) {
  | 				retVal = instance.name();
  | 			}
  | 		}
  | 		System.out.println("retrieved gener " + retVal);
  | 		return retVal;
  | 
  | 	}
  | 
  | }

Now it depends on the facelets page if the above code is working.

This works fine and retrieves the translation for the key from the messages properties ("male"):
	<div class="entry">
  | 		<div class="label">Geschlecht:</div>
  | 		<div class="output"><h:outputText value="#{member.gender}"/></div>
  | 	</div>

This doesn't work, because only the name of the enum ("MALE") is displayed:
	<div class="entry">
  | 		<div class="label">Gender:</div>
  | 		<div class="output">#{member.gender}</div>
  | 	</div>

Has anyone a idea why my custom converter doesn't work with the second style?

Thanks, Maik.
