well, but (xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html")
<h:outputText value="foobar" converter="contentConverter"/>
works. and
<h:outputText value="foobar" converter="#{contentConverter}"/>
does not.
<my:component value="foo" converter="contentConverter" />
Is definitely nod valid syntax. The converter must evaluate to a
converter instance, not a converter ID:
public void setConverter(Converter converter) {...}
So you have to use EL:
<my:component value="foo" converter="#{bean_that_implements_converter}"
/>
could you post a snippet or a link for the taglib.xml part? i am not sure
if i did it alright.
thanks
