[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (RF-10943) SuggestionBox: why no "converter" attribute?

[Markus Staab (JIRA)]

     [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-10943?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Markus Staab updated RF-10943:
------------------------------

    Description: 
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...
