Using convertEntity tag causes NullPointerException
I am trying to use the
<s:converEntity>
tag as follows:
<h:selectManyListbox value="#{user.roles}" id="selectRolesMenu" required="true">
<s:selectItems value="#{roles}" var="role" label="#{role.name}"/>
<s:convertEntity/>
</h:selectManyListbox>
I have configured this to work with hibernate session management in components.xml as follows:
<persistence:hibernate-session-factory name="hibernateSessionFactory"/>
<persistence:managed-hibernate-session name="session" auto-create="true"
session-factory-jndi-name="java:/hibernateSessionFactory"/>
<component name="org.jboss.seam.ui.converter.EntityConverter">
<property name="session">#{hibernateSession}</property>
</component>
as detailed in the documentation. When I then try to access the page with the listbox a NullPointerException is thrown (show below). Is there some configuration I'm missing here?
