Cannot use a custom Converter...
Hi,
I'm new in seam framework and I'd like to use a Converter. I've seen the sample for the dvd store and I've tried to do mine.
The Converter is created correctly (seen in debug mode) and after I've an exception....
Here is the code:
Converter.java:
@Name("titleconverrter")
public class TitleViewConverter implements Converter {
public TitleViewConverter() {
System.out.println("constructed...");
}
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
System.out.println("Converting to a String...");
if (value == null)
return null;
Title title = (Title) value;
return title.getType().toString();
}
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
System.out.println("Converting to an Object...");
if (value == null || value.length()==0)
return null;
return null;
}
}
The EJB with the value to set:
User.java:
@Entity
@Name("user")
@Table(name = "USER_TABLE")
@NamedQueries( {
@NamedQuery(name = MappedQueries.USER_QUERY_FIND_BY_CREDENTIAL, query = "select u from User u where u.password = :password and u.login=:login and u.login is not null and u.password is not null"),
@NamedQuery(name = MappedQueries.USER_QUERY_FIND_BY_LOGIN, query = "select u from User u where u.login=:login") })

@PreUpdate
public void format() {
firstname = Formatter.captializeFirstWordsLetter(firstname);
middlename = Formatter.captializeFirstWordsLetter(middlename);

}
}
The EJB session to query the db and display the Title (I use a View to get the label with the correct locale
TitleManager.java:
@Local
public interface TitleManager {
public void loadData();
public List<SelectItem> getTitles();
public Title getNullTitle();
public void destroy();
}
and the EJB class:
TitleManagerBean.java
@Stateful
@Scope(ScopeType.EVENT)
@Name("titlemanager")
public class TitleManagerBean implements TitleManager {
@PersistenceContext (unitName = "pu.agaetis-jta")
private EntityManager em;
@EJB
private CommonFacade common;
@In
private Locale locale;
protected List<TitleView> titles;
private List<SelectItem> items;
@Create
public void loadData() {
titles = common.findAllTitleViews(em, common.findLocaleByLocale(em, locale));
items = new ArrayList<SelectItem>(titles.size());
for (TitleView title : titles)
items.add(new SelectItem(title.getTitle(), title.getText()));
}
public List<SelectItem> getTitles() {
return items;
}
public Title getNullTitle() {
return new Title();
}
@Destroy @Remove
public void destroy() {
}
}
