f:convertNumber currencyCode Value Expression

[cgraf]

Hi there!

I want to user <f:convertNumber> with the "currencyCode" attribute. If I use a String constant everything works file:

<h:outputText id="idOutputAmount" value="#{entity1.amount}">
<f:convertNumber type="currency" currencyCode="EUR" locale="de_DE" />
</h:outputText>

But if the currencyCode is gotten from an entity property


<h:outputText id="idOutputAmount" value="#{entity1.amount}">
<f:convertNumber type="currency" currencyCode="#{entity1.currencyCode}" locale="de_DE" />
</h:outputText>


I get an error "javax.faces.convert.ConverterException: value could not be converted to a string":

Thanks in advance
