    suggestion box data conversion problem

      hi,
      I´m using suggestion box component. The values are fetched and showed properly in the suggestion box.
      My problem is that after selecting one value, I have the following error:
      value could not be converted to the expected type
      This error matches the tag javax.faces.component.UIInput.CONVERSION so I´ve a conversion problem.
      The code of the web page is this:

      <s:decorate id="currencyIsoDecoration" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
       <ui:define name="label">#{messages['CfgCurrency']}</ui:define>
       <h:inputText id="currencyIso"
       size="20"
       maxlength="50"
       required="true"
       value="#{rstReportHome.instance.cfgCurrency.currencyIso}">
       <a:support event="onblur" reRender="currencyIsoDecoration"/>
       </h:inputText>
       <rich:suggestionbox for="currencyIso" suggestionAction="#{suggestionBox.autocomplete}"
       var="result" fetchValue="#{result}" >
       <h:column>
       <h:outputText value="#{result}" />
       </h:column>
       </rich:suggestionbox>
       </s:decorate>


      And the autocomplete is this: (currencyList query returns a list of Strings)

      @Name("suggestionBox")
       public class SuggestionBox implements Serializable {
       ...
      
       public List autocomplete(Object suggest) {
      
       currencyIso = suggest.toString();
       ArrayList result = new ArrayList();
       Iterator<CfgCurrency> currencyIter = currencyList.iterator();
       CfgCurrency ccy = null;
       while ((currencyIter != null) && (currencyIter.hasNext()) ) {
       ccy = currencyIter.next();
      
       result.add(ccy.getCurrencyIso());
       }
       return result;
       }



      CfgCurrency class has been generated by means of seam-gen as well as rstReportHome. This is the code:

      @Name("rstReportHome")
      public class RstReportHome extends EntityHome<RstReport> {
       @In(create = true)
       CfgCurrencyHome cfgCurrencyHome;
       ....
      
      @Entity
      @Table(name = "CFG_CURRENCY", catalog = "prisk", uniqueConstraints = @UniqueConstraint(columnNames = "currency_iso"))
      public class CfgCurrency implements java.io.Serializable {
      
       private String currencyIso;
       ...


      In the input text I want to assign the value to a String attribute #{rstReportHome.instance.cfgCurrency.currencyIso}, and the values fetched
      with the suggestion box are strings. I don´t understand why there is a conversion problem.
      I will be appreciated your suggestions.
      thanks in advance!
