1. About the autocomplete the "problem" that i had is that i was getting the string value typed by the user in the converter and i was expecting to be the id that i returned in the getasstring method of course i got an numberformat exception because the string it wasnt the id instead it was the string typed by the user. But the problem was because i didnt specify the event attritube in p:ajax after look this i just add the itemSelect event and with this i didnt get the the string typed value in the converter and the exception gone. As i can see, you specify the event in the ajax tag.
2. The way i use the converter are in separeted classes and in each converter if i need an ejb injected (limitation of jsf 2.1 this is "fixed" in jsf 2.2 ) i use Apache CODI for get the reference of my ejb or i do a lookup using jndi. Using like this way all my converters are classes annotated with facesconverter that i can reuse in any jsf page using the converter tag or if the component provide a converter attribute i use the name of the facesconverter and with this i dont have create an instance of the converter in any managedbean, my app have more than 40 converters in this way without any problem . IMO i dont see why you want to use static converter. El 13/04/2013 10:41, "Howard W. Smith, Jr." <smithh032...@gmail.com> escribió: > I asked the question and answered on stackoverflow.com[1].
