1) fetchValue is evaluated on the client-side with javascript, isn't it? Does fetchValue also affect the suggestionAction's parameter?

2) since i need some context information from the facelet, i have not the necessary variables inside the backing-bean's suggestionAction.
(I have one backing-bean for the all suggestion-box facelet-tags, since I try to form a independet input component)

My idea was to pass my model to the suggestion action, so the context of depending fields is clear.
therefore i want to add a converter, which adds the input string to a field of the model and afterwards pass the whole model into the suggestion action.

> 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...
