I have an AutoCompleteTextField with a POJO model; I override getConverter() to return a converter that looks up the field value in the same list that getChoices() uses for filtering. Which works fine if you actually put something into the field that matches.
However, if you type a non-mathing value, the converter returns null; this is AFAICS the correct way to deal with failed conversion, and I expected a validation message to that effect. However, instead the null value is accepted, and even though the field is declared to be required, the form is submitted, and when re-rendered the field is of course blank due to the null model value. Any ideas? Problem occurred in 1.4.0 and 1.4.2 (noticed I was using an old version and upgraded, but same behavior). Would it be better to use the TextField/AutoCompleteBehavior combo manually? Or should the converter be returned by the ConverterLocator instead?
