    Using EnumConverter in pages.xml: "FacesException: Expression Error: Named Object: javax.faces.Enum not found."

    kwutzke

      Hello,


      I'm trying to use an enum converter in pages.xml to convert a URL param to a (JPA-mapped) enum but I get a stack trace at runtime.


      My pages.xml is:


       <page view-id="/group-list.xhtml">
        <param converterId="javax.faces.Integer" name="season"  value="#{seasonHome.id}"/>
        <param converterId="javax.faces.Integer" name="context" value="#{competitionHome.geoAreaId}"/>
        <param converterId="javax.faces.Enum"    name="type"    value="#{competitionHome.type}"/>
       </page>
      



      Examplary URL is:


      http://www.domain.com/mywebapp/group-list.seam?season=2002&context=268&type=LEAGUE


      That type there is an ENUM in the DB, too. I mapped it as enum in JPA correctly, I assure that.


      Now the following exception gets thrown when loading the page:

      I have no clue why this happens. Seems pretty basic to me. The javax.faces.Integer converters get instantiated without problem. This is a JSF 1.2 app and the EnumConverter class should be present.


      Does anyone know what's going on and more importantly how to fix this?


      Thanks
