In you previous message you said:
We elected to keep everything in memory since we don't have that many concurrent users.
I didn't understand it can you explain it?
It could be a good idea for JSF to store the objects in the server side and just submit an identifier to with the html. Once the request is received to the server JSF can indentify the referenced object by the identifier.

Depending on the size of your object graph, you might run into performance problems doing that. It really depends on your situation, but that's something you could definitely try. We elected to keep everything in memory since we don't have that many concurrent users.

and what if my bean that I want to convert includes another nested objects?
Is it a good idea to use libraries that serialize and deserialize object from and to xml?

getAsString converts the Object to a String and getAsObject converts the String back to an Object.
The behaviour should be like this:
MyBean foo = // get a bean from somewhere Converter converter = // get a converter that converts MyBeans. String fooString = converter.getAsString(foo); MyBean bar = converter.getAsObject(fooString);
foo.equals(bar); // should return true.
Basically, the converter needs to convert an object to a String that can be used later to recreate that Object. You can do this many different ways. We have a unique id for every type of object and store all objects in session. Our converter just returns that unique id and pulls the objects from session using a Map.

Hi again thank you for your reply, I am new to JSF so I need some information on how to create converters. Do you know any site one the internet that has such information?
I have already looked on the internet but I only foound converters for String not for other classes.
Can you give directions on how to implement the getAsString and getAsObject ?

Yes, you must write a converter for Category.
The object you pass as the 'value' of your SelectItem objects should be of a type that is assignment-compatible with the property you've bound to your component.

Hello I have a problem with the selectItems tag Bellow I have the method that brings the value attribute of the tag:
public List getCategories() { ArrayList retValue = new ArrayList(); retValue.add(new SelectItem("","Choose a category...")); for(Iterator iter=this.eventRegistry.getCategories().iterator(); iter.hasNext();){ Category category=(Category)iter.next(); retValue.add(new SelectItem(category,category.getTitle())); } return retValue; }
When I run the web application I get the following exception:
javax.faces.FacesException: There is no registered converter for class essex.cc403.hbeans.Category
Do I really need to write a converter for the Category? Can I avoid it? Can you axplain me what I have to do because I am not familiar with JSF
Thank you in advanec, kostas
