I'm using selectOneMenus with arrays of selectItems and converters without any problem with a myfaces svn snapshot from 2005-08-16 (I'm a couple weeks out of date because I had to work on a non-JSF project for a bit).
It sounds like your converter isn't properly registered. I think createConverter is only called after the appropriate converter type to create is identified, so you really need to be setting a breakpoint in the "findConverterToCreate" method (I don't remember the name or location offhand, but if you start in UIInput, you should be able to find it fairly quickly. Alternately, you can just set a breakpoing in UIInput.) -Mike On 9/8/05, Michael <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I apologize if this question is answered elsewhere but I didn't have any > luck with the mailing list archive, JIRA, or google. > > I have an array of SelectItem objects with the value set to a Java 5 > enumeration.
