Hi. I actually ran into the same problem myself. There is a Jira issue
created and a patch submitted to fix this...
http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ADFFACES-336 I'm not sure when it will be
committed to the code base. For the time being, we are using what Adam is
suggesting (writing the bean to present a Long, and convert to/from BigDecimal
as necessary), but at some point you should be able to use a BigDecimal with
the regular Trinidad converters.

I'd have to look around to see where you could get an off-the-shelf
BigDecimal Converter, but one option you always have is writing
a small adapter layer. You can't change the underlying business
object, but you *can* write a bean that wraps up the business
object and presents a long instead of a bigdecimal. A proper
converter is a better option, though, since you won't run a
risk of exceeding legal values.
I'm not sure where you got converter="BigDecimalConverter"
from... you do have to pick something that really is the ID
of a converter.
