RE: General Converter Question
It's definitely not finding the converter. It renders as: I've added the tag to the page. I've included the sandbox.taglib.xml file to my web.xml. Both the taglib and the sandbox jar are included in my webapp. Is there something I'm missing?

RE: General Converter Question
Actually, I thought it was working, but it was getting a null, but the
checkbox rendered unchecked. When I set a value, I get the exception
below. It seems to not be finding the converter, as it's never called.
I've added the sandbox.taglib.xml file to my web-inf directory. I've
added the reference to it in my web.xml. I have the sanbox jar in my
app's web-inf/lib directory. Am I missing something?

Well, the trick is not to convert from String to Boolean -- it's to convert back to String afterward.

I'd say that this does what you want. Note that it has methods for handling the problem above: setTrueValue(String) and setFalseValue(String)
Re: General Converter Question
If you look at the source there is already a boolean converter, but it does the *opposite* of what you need. It was in sandbox the last time I saw it but it may have moved to tomahawk. Should be quick to implement though.

RE: General Converter Question
If you use something like the BooleanUtils class from commons-lang, much of the technical aspects of conversion from strings to boolean values is done for you. All you need is a simple converter wrapper and a taglib. As this is such a common requirement I'm surprised that no one has pushed one into the Tomahawk build. -Original Message- From: Mike Kienenberger [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 12:40 PM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: Re: General Converter Question Yes, this should work.

Yes, this should work. I have the same issue, but I generally deal with it by converting the String type to a boolean type at the database layer level.

General Converter Question
Is it possible to bind a h:selectBooleanCheckbox component to a String field? The string field is coming out of the db as a Y or N value. This is existing code used in a lot of places, and I can't change it. It should have been stored in the object as a boolean or Boolean, but I can't change that now. Any ideas on how to do this? I've read about using converter's, but they don't seem to apply here, unless I have to write my own. I'd rather use a standard one if I can. Thanks...
