Hi! Since migrated my application to JSF 2 I'm no able to persist an empty to null converted value in the database. The values passed in managedBean.setModel(model) are empty strings for example again. I'm looking for a reason of this behaviour for a few days now and would be happy, if anybody can help me. Here are some snippets of my code:
<h:form id="editAlbum"> ... <h:inputText id="year" value="#{albumDetailBean.album.year}"></h:inputText> <h:commandButton action="#{albumDetailBean.save}" value="#{msg.buttonSave}"></h:commandButton> </h:form> @Entity public class Album { ... @Column Integer year; ... } @ManagedBean @SessionScoped public class AlbumDetailBean { @ManagedProperty(value="#{albumService}") private AlbumService albumService; private Album album; public static AlbumDetailBean getInstance() { FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); return (AlbumDetailBean) fc.getApplication().evaluateExpressionGet(fc, "#{albumDetailBean}", AlbumDetailBean.class); } public String save() { // At this point, album.year is Integer(0) instead of null...! if (album.getId() == null) albumService.insert(album); else albumService.update(album); return "success"; } public Album getAlbum() { return album; } public void setAlbum(Album album) { this.album = album; } } I've tried to implement an empty string to null converter and git the same behaviour. I've even tried the new javax.faces.INTERPRET_EMPTY_STRING_SUBMITTED_VALUES_AS_NULL property. Without success. :-( Titus -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/How-to-persist-null-values-with-JSF2--tp30622750p30622750.html Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
