ObjectConverter and EntityConverter
-----------------------------------

                 Key: SEAMFACES-28
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-28
             Project: Seam Faces
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: Transactions & Persistence, Validation & Conversion
            Reporter: Pete Muir
            Priority: Critical


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.
