Unfortunately, String converters and Object converters aren't allowed in the JSF-RI because of performance concerns, and MyFaces had to follow this pattern to pass the TCK.
I started some discussion about it on the JSF RI dev list, and, as I said above, was told it was disallowed due to performance concerns. Your best bet is to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] describing your use case and also ask for this feature. It might happen in JSF 2.0. A past thread by me discussed the possibility of allowing this when using a MyFaces configuration option and was encouraged by Craig McClanahan, but the only committer to comment on it was Martin, and while he thought it was a good idea, he didn't want it done as a configurable option. Unfortunately, it would have failed the TCK, so I didn't pursue it at the time. http://www.nabble.com/Myfaces-disallows-custom-String-%28and-Object%29-converters--t207391.html#a586463 -Mike On 10/11/05, Dennis Byrne <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I would like JSF to trim all Strings during the render > phase.
