@Role is buggy (is it?)

[eekboom]

Let me use the registration example to demonstrate the problem.
The original example works perfectly fine for me.

However as soon as I change the declaration from

@Entity
@Name("user")
@Scope(SESSION)
@Table(name="users")
public class User implements Serializable

to

@Entity
@Name("dummy")
@Scope(SESSION)
@Role(name = "user", scope = SESSION)
@Table(name="users")
public class User implements Serializable

it fails and only shows "Conversion Error" on the JSF page for all fields.

It should not make a difference if the context variable is declared using @Name or @Role, should it?

My this type of declaration works fine.
But I did not declare them both for SESSION Scope.
This seems to be different logical approach or a bug.
In my oppinion there can be N different session scoped entities both same class.

Should work. Submit a test case to JIRA.
