    SuggestionBox problems

      I am trying to get a suggestionbox to display a list of customers. I am using JBoss Seam with this.

      What I want to happen is have the suggestion keep filtering the names based on subsequent keystrokes like in the demo example

      Here is what I have so far

      <h:inputText id="customer_input"
       value="#{customerRequest.customer}">
      </h:inputText>
      <rich:suggestionbox for="customer_input"
       suggestionAction="#{requestManager.suggestCustomer}"
       var="cust"
       fetchValue="#{cust.lastFirstName}">
       <h:column>
       <h:outputText value="#{cust.lastFirstName}" />
       </h:column>
      </rich:suggestionbox>


      Note Customer == User

      public List suggestCustomer(Object suggest) {
       log.info("Started Suggest Customer");
       Query q = entityManager.createQuery("SELECT u FROM User u WHERE u.userLastName LIKE :suggest");
       q.setParameter("suggest", (String)suggest + "%");
       return q.getResultList();
       }


      I keep getting these messages in the server log when I type "c" in the inputbox (does not matter what the character is) but no stack trace is thown
      007-07-06 11:18:04,841 INFO [javax.enterprise.resource.webcontainer.jsf.lifecycle] WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.
      sourceId=requestDetail_Form:customer_input[severity=(ERROR 2), summary=(Conversion Error setting value 'c' for 'null Converter'. ), detail=(Conversion Error setting value 'c' for 'null Converter'. )]


      I am guessing that it has something to do with getting the user/customer object back from the suggestion box vs just returning the string label.

      Do I need s:convertEntity somewhere or some other type of coverter?
      Thanks for any help
