Matthias
I have entered the issue, http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1317, 
but I was not able to
assign it to you.

Thanks you,

Matthias,

When I changed my method getTimeZone() to return a TimeZone, things worked as expected.

I guess my confusion comes from the TLD Documentation, http://myfaces.apache.org/impl/tlddoc/index.html.

"When this value is a value-binding to a TimeZone instance, that timezone is used. Otherwise this value is treated as a String containing a timezone id, ie as the ID parameter of method

    java.util.TimeZone.getTimeZone(String)."

I read this to mean that the converter would converter would treat String value-binding the same way

as a String value.  Below is a coded version of my expectation.

   if (UIComponentTag.isValueReference(value))
   {

ValueBinding vb = facesContext.getApplication().createValueBinding(value);

     TimeZone timeZone;
     Object value = vb.getValue(facesContext);
     if (value instanceof TimeZone)
     {
       timeZone = (TimeZone) value;
     }
     else
     {
       timeZone = TimeZone.getTimeZone(value.toString())
     }
     converter.setTimeZone(timeZone);
   }

Is my expectation in keeping with the spec?
If it is case should I enter a JIRA issue?
