Waow! This sure sucks for me... Looks like it's just recreated at every submit I hit so I can basically never keep any of its values... Kinda defeats the point of what I was trying to do but I found a way around, it just kills all the reflection process we were trying to use. Thanks for the help,

In 1.2, converters are saved and restored across submits, but in 1.1 the behavior is either undefined or converters are always recreated (not sure which). This is probably not an option for you, but facelets follows the 1.2 behavior even when used with a JSF 1.1 implementation. If you were considering facelets, then this might be one reason to start using it. Other than that, your options are probably a) switch to JSF 1.2 RI b) find another way to do the same thing, even when converters are recreated each submit c) submit a patch to MyFaces to make it JSF 1.2 compliant, and hopefully a 1.2 compliance switch will be added soon to MyFaces, and such features will begin to be integrated.
