Hi,

i have some simple entity class that stores different restrictions, the restrictions
are used for dynamic building of JPQL-Queries:

@Entity
public class Restriction extends BaseEntity {
  ...
  private String name = null;
  private T value = null;
  ...

  @Transient
  public T getValue() {
      return value;
  }

  public void setValue(T value) {
    this.value = value;
  }
}

The generic type parameter is used because different restrictions must hold different
types of values, for example String for an name, Integer for an age. etc.

I also want to take advantage of build in JSF/SEAM validation and conversation.

The problem is that when is use the following in my xhtml, the value is allways null.

<h:inputText value="#{restriction.value}" />
