Richfaces4 rich:select with converter value is not populated
Hello Dear Community,
I faced with the problem with populating values for a select component.
When a page is loaded all values are populated but the values in selects. I added a button to the page which simply re-renders page content. After that the value appears in the select component. Do I do something wrong or it is a problem with component?
Please, find the code below
JSF page looks like the following

If i push the 'Reload' button the the page the value for country is going to appear
The code for the back-end bean is below:
==================================================================================
@ManagedBean(name = "reqOpenProcController")
@ViewScoped
public class ReqOpenProcDocumentController extends BaseController {
Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(ReqOpenProcDocumentController.class.getName());
@ManagedProperty(value = "#{userSession}")
private UserSessionController userSessionController;
private Document document;
.............................................
private Company company;
@PostConstruct
private void init() {
company = new Company();
try {
BeanUtilsBean.getInstance().copyProperties(company, userSessionController.getUser().getCompany());
} catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
logger.info(e.getMessage());
} catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
logger.info(e.getMessage());
}
}
public Company getCompany() {
return company;
}
public void setCompany(Company company) {
this.company = company;
}
public UserSessionController getUserSessionController() {
return userSessionController;
}
public void setUserSessionController(UserSessionController userSessionController) {
this.userSessionController = userSessionController;
}
public Document getDocument() {
return document;
}
public void setDocument(Document document) {
this.document = document;
}
private void prepareData() {
...................
}
public String save() {
prepareData();
return "document_list";
}
public String cancel() {
return "document_list";
}
}
======================================================================
Navigation rule looks like the following:
======================================================================
<navigation-rule>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>req_open_proc</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/pages/req_open_proc.xhtml</to-view-id>
<redirect/>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
======================================================================
the code for the link to the page and the appropriate method of the back-end been look like the following
======================================================================
<rich:menuItem label="#{msg['open.procedure.request']}"
action="#{menuController.reqOpenPro}" icon="/resources/images/create_doc.gif">
</rich:menuItem>
@ManagedBean(name = "menuController")
@SessionScoped
public class MenuController extends BaseController {
...............................
public String reqOpenPro() {
return "req_open_proc";
}
...............................
}
======================================================================
Could you please tell me what do I do wrong and what can I do to make it work properly. Thanks
