I posted this last Friday on the user list, but maybe it should have
went to the dev list instead.
I notice that Myfaces disallows custom String (and Object) converters.
===
static Converter findUIOutputConverter(FacesContext facesContext,
UIOutput component)
if (String.class.equals(valueType)) return null; //No
converter needed for String type
if (Object.class.equals(valueType)) return null; //There is
no converter for Object class
===
I don't see anything in the spec that requires this restriction.
My use case is that I would like to create a java.lang.String
converter that automatically converts all empty strings to null.
