Hello there,

I have written a simple JSF converter. If the conversion fails a ConverterException is thrown by getAsObject() method. This works fine and I have done this a lot of times...

Now, by adding a property to my converter, I had to implement the StateHolder interface. As soon I do this I get a InvocationTargetException at the console every time my converter throws its ConverterException. Seams no one is expecting this exception if the converter implements StateHolder...

If I just remove StateHolder from the "implements" list everything works fine again...
