ListShuttle Ignores Converted Values

[pdpantages]

Hello Forum,

I am trying to use a list shuttle with a covnerter.

I have an ArrayList for both my source and target lists.
The list items are String.
E.g., one entry is: "specificProblem"

I wanted to present different string values in the picklists.
E.g., I want to show "Specific problem"

I thought that I could define a converter to map the
strings back and forth. Since my "objects" are also strings
I thought this would be fairly straightforward.

I can see from println statements that the converter is
being called to convert the source and target lists as
expected.

When the page is rendered, I see calls togetAsString,
E.g., I see:
"getAs String from specificProblem to Specific problem"

When it is submitted I see calls to getAsObject.
E.g., I see:
"getAsObject from Specific problem to specificProblem"

However, when the shuttle is displayed, I see the original values,
not the converted values. E.g., in this case I see
"specificProblem" in the list, not "Specific problem" as I want.

Am I misunderstaning something?

The shuttle seems to discard the converted values & display "object"
values instead.


My Shuttle:

 <rich:listShuttle
 sourceValue="#{reportEntry.adp}"
 targetValue="#{reportEntry.dp}"
 var="items"
 sourceCaptionLabel="Available Properties"
 targetCaptionLabel="Included Properties"
 removeAllControlLabel="Remove all"
 removeControlLabel="Remove properties"
 copyControlLabel="Add properties"
 copyAllControlLabel="Add all"
 fastOrderControlsVisible="true"
 orderControlsVisible="true"
 converter="#{reportEntry.pc}">

 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{items}"></h:outputText>
 </rich:column>

 </rich:listShuttle>

My converter:

 public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value)
 throws ConverterException {

 System.out.println("getAsObject from " + value + " to " + _nameMap.get( (String)value ) );
 return ( StringUtils.isEmpty(value) ) ? null : _nameMap.get( (String)value );
 }

 public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value)
 throws ConverterException {

 if(value == null) {
 return "";
 }
 else if ( value instanceof String )
 {
 System.out.println("getAs String from " + value + " to " + nameMap.get( (String) value ) );
 return nameMap.get( (String) value );
 }
 {
 throw new ConverterException("Property Name not string value." );
 }
 }
