    selectManyListbox and SelectItem error

    jbosskiki

      Hi,
      I'm trying to use two selectManyListBox to assign a list of roles to a user.

      <h:selectManyListbox value="#{rolemanager.source}" converter="#{rolemanager.converter}" size="5">
       <f:selectItems value="#{rolemanager.items}" />
       </h:selectManyListbox>
      
       <h:commandButton value="add" action="#{rolemanager.add}" />
       <h:commandButton value="remove" action="#{rolemanager.remove}" />
      
       <h:selectManyListbox value="#{rolemanager.selected}" converter="#{rolemanager.converter}" size="5">
       <f:selectItems value="#{rolemanager.destination}" />
       </h:selectManyListbox>
      


      when I click on "Add", the list "source" in role manager is a list of Role and not a list of SelectItem, I'd like to know if it's a normal behaviour... I expect to have a List of SelectItem...
      the Complte code is

      RoleManager.java
      @Stateful
      @Scope(SESSION)
      @Name("rolemanager")
      public class RoleManagerBean implements RoleManager {

       private EntityManager em;
      
       @EJB
       private CompanyFacade company;
      
       private List<Role> roles;
      
       private List<SelectItem> items;
      
       private List<SelectItem> source=new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
      
       private List<SelectItem> destination=new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
      
       private List<SelectItem> selected=new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
      
       @Create
       public void loadData() {
       roles = company.findAllRoles(em);
      
       items=new ArrayList<SelectItem>(roles.size());
       for(Role role : roles)
       items.add(new SelectItem(role, role.getRole()));
       }
      
       public List<Role> getRoles() {
       return roles;
       }
      
       public Converter getConverter() {
      
       return new Converter(){
       public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) throws ConverterException {
       if(value==null)
       return null;
      
       for(Role role : roles)
       if(role.getRole().equals(value))
       return role;
       return null;
       }
       public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ConverterException {
       return value==null ? null : ((Role)value).getRole();
       }
       };
       }
      
       public List<SelectItem> getItems() {
       return items;
       }
      
       public void setItems(List<SelectItem> items) {

       }
      
       public List<SelectItem> getSource() {
       return source;
       }
      
       public void setSource(List<SelectItem> source) {
       this.source=source;
       }
      
       public void setSelected(List<SelectItem> selected) {
       this.selected = selected;
       }
      
       public List<SelectItem> getSelected() {
       return selected;
       }
      
       public void add() {
       destination.addAll(source);
       source.clear();
       }

       destination.clear();
       }

      And the exception...
