Seam 1.2.1 -> Seam 2.0: converters MIA

[s.de.kaper]

We just started switching our application from seam 1.2 to 2.0 (following seam2migration.txt), but now the JSF converters dont work anymore :(

This isn't just our custom converters, but the default JSF converters (Date, Integer, etc.) don't work either. They're just not applied, resulting in ClassCast exceptions.

<s:convertDateTime /> and similar tags still work.

The weird thing is, another project in our company that just made the switch doesn't have that problem.

Why am I missing?

I suggest you start with a seam gen project and then integrate your application.

That is usually easier for me when the first attempt does not work.

That sounds unnecessary (not to mention a hassle) for a project that was already working fine in seam 1.2 . Besides, I tried the relevant XML files from the Seam 2.0 examples, and that didn't help either.

Can this be due to the change from MyFaces to Sun's RI ? If so, where do I look for a solution?

I solved the problem. The solution was using <h:outputText> instead of <h:outputFormat>.
