Nope, I'm mostly using it with @JsfPhaseListeners.

We also don't have unit tests in CODI for converters. 


Please try

BeanManagerProvider.getInstance().getContextualReference(Yourclass.class);

inside the converter if you need it.
If it's a NormalScoped bean (Request-, Application-, SessionScoped, CODI 
scopes) then you only need to do this once as you only get a proxy anyway.
