I believe that this error is thrown when the data type of your managed bean
"country" property is not a String and you have not specified a converter.
You can handle this a couple ways in Clay. You can use a value binding
attribute expression or a nested converter.
**integerConverter is already defined in the base clay config file **
<!--
Converts a string value into a primitive int type and back to a string.
-->
<component jsfid="integerConverter" componentType="javax.faces.Integer"/>
<component jsfid="addressCountry" extends="selectOneMenu" id="addressCountry"
allowBody="false">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<set name="required" value="true" />
</attributes>
<element renderId="0" jsfid="selectItems">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="#{miscDao.countries}" />
</attributes>
</element>
<converter jsfid="integerConverter" />
</component>
** OR **
<component jsfid="addressCountry" extends="selectOneMenu" id="addressCountry"
allowBody="false">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<set name="required" value="true" />
</attributes>
<element renderId="0" jsfid="selectItems">
<attributes>
<set name="value" value="#{miscDao.countries}" />
<set name="converter" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
</attributes>
</element>
</component>
