Custom converter in JSF 2 with arguments

Question

I\'m trying to implement a custom truncate converter, which truncates a string at a given index and adds a continuation symbol. The converter works fine, only when i hard co

Answer 1

Based on @Maks solution: It's possible to combine the converter and the attribute in one tag:

    http://mycompany.com/some-identifier
    
        truncate
        
            bla.blablabla.Truncate
        
        
            truncateIndex
        
    

Then you can use the converter like this:

You also don't need to grab the parameter from the component-attributes. A bean-property with the same name will be populated automatically:

@FacesConverter("bla.blablabla.Truncate")
public class Truncate implements Converter {

    private String truncateIndex;

    // getters + setters

    ...

}
