ManagedProperty not injected in @FacesConverter

Question

I\'m trying to inject a ManagedBean in my FacesConverted the following way:

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
@FacesConverter(forClass = Group.class)
public class          


        

Answer 1

It is likely that you are not resolving the managed bean name.

@ManagedBean(name = "myConverter")
@RequestScoped
@FacesConverter(value = "myConverter")
public class MyConverter implements Converter {

For example, consider these two components:

        <h:inputText converter="myConverter" value="#{foo.prop}" />
        <h:inputText converter="#{myConverter}" value="#{bar.prop}" />

When the converter is set on the first component, it will be created by Application.createConverter. A converter is not a managed bean. The same rules apply if you match a converter by type.

In the second component, a value expression is used to return a class that implements Converter. This uses the usual managed bean mechanisms. In this case, the @FacesConverter annotation is irrelevant.
