Could someone help how to get REST style behaviour for enum types using param feature in pages.xml

I know that is enum converter but if it suitable for REST style?

Thanks.

No. You would need to write one that knew about the Enum type that it was converting to/from.

OK. thank you for quick reply.

But where I suppose to register converter to use converterId attribute in pages.xml or it does not make sense this way and simply need to add special method/attribute in seam components doing conversion?

The converters used in pages.xml are just the standard JSF converters - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-jsf3/

I tried to add another setter for enum entity attribute that takes a string as a parameter but it is not taken by the framework in case of param conversions.

Is this possible to do this way?

thanks
