I'm trying to implement the f:setActionPropertyListener approach to take the selected object and set it to my conversational entity bean (Seam 2.1.SP1).
However, I'm receiving conversion errors, such as:
Conversion Error setting value 'Administrator' for 'null Converter'.
Googling the issue, it would appear that I need to build a converter to take my selected object and return it as an object. But, if so, how come I don't have to do this for other selectItems wherein I set the value directly to that of an object? Here is my rich:suggestionBox if anyone would like to help me figure out whether I need to make a converter. Thank you.
Note: In the code below, {result} is a User object. {result.userProfile} is another object, "UserProfile", which is a child of Object.
{cvEventContact.contact } is of type UserProfile. So there should be no object mismatch going on.
Code:
<h:inputText id="contact" value="#{cvEventContact.contact}"
required="true" autocomplete="true"/>
<rich:suggestionbox id="userPicker"
minChars="4"
for="contact"
tokens=",[]"
suggestionAction="#{userPicker.getAllUsersByInput}"
var="result"
usingSuggestObjects="false"
nothingLabel="#{messages['suggestions.nothingLabel']}"
width="#{globals['output.suggestionBox.width']}"
status="userPickerStatus">
<a4j:support event="onselect">
<f:setPropertyActionListener value="#{result.userProfile}" target="#{cvEventContact.contact}" />
</a4j:support>
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result.fullName}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="#{result.userId}"/>
</h:column>
<h:column>
<h:outputText value="[#{result.primaryOrg.shortName}]"/>
</h:column>
</rich:suggestionbox>
