seam converter

[armita]

I am trying to use Converter annotation without success. My class looks like

@Converter(id = "locationConveter")
@Name("locationConverter")
public class LocationConverter implements javax.faces.convert.Converter {

but my page could not find

<f:converter converterId="locationConverter" />

I also tried it without the @Name annotation
The error message is:

SEVERE: Error Rendering View[/QuotesEdit.xhtml]
javax.faces.FacesException: Could not instantiate converter: null

Try to define converter into the Faces-Config.xml.

<converter>
 <converter-id>locationConverter</converter-id>
 <converter-class>LocationConverter</converter-class>
</converter>

And access it by using defined id in JSF page.

Hope it will work.

... or use an EL expression to access the converter.

Thank you guys! I hoped that the annotation will eliminate need for adding the converter to the faces-config.xml file (And if not, what is the point of "id" in converter annotation?)
Though I could not understand how can I use EL to mention the converter.

I registered in the faces-config.xml file! Now the jsf could get a hold of it, but none of the seam injections seems to work. My class looks like:

@Converter(id = "locationConveter")
@Name("locationConverter")
@Interceptors(SeamInterceptor.class)
public class LocationConverter implements javax.faces.convert.Converter {

I am not sure how it is supposed to work.

Which seam version u r using. Try seam 1.2.1 GA

[fhh]

If you use injection you have to access the converter via an el expression, like #{locationConverter}.

It is not working. I even tried the UI example of seam which uses a converter and put some logs inside the methods, but it seems that converters is not functional in Seam! Or maybe I am missing something?

Wondering if you ever figured out the problem. I'm trying to use the converter too.

[armita]

Yes, actually I managed to use them. Doesn't this thread helped you to solve the problem?

Actually, my problem was due to the fact that my converter was not being scanned by seam. Once I got that going everything works as expected...It almost seems like you had similar problem from your earlier posts.

Also, you don't have to register the converter in the faces config as suggested in earlier post (that's the whole point of using the Converter annotation).

And I'm using seam 1.2.1.GA.
