No, what it means is that selectedUserBean.selectedUser is null. The next step would be to figure out why that's the case. Are you sure that you've got the selectOneListbox first on your page? If so, the order things happen should be: 1) JSF decodes the selectOneListbox component value and the inputText value. 2) JSF converts the selectOneListbox component value and validates it. 3) JSF converts the inputText component value and validates it. 4) JSF puts the selectOneListbox component value into the model (selectedUserBean.selectedUser). 5) JSF puts the inputText component value into the model. (selectedUserBean.selectedUser.id). I'd try setting some breakpoints in step 4 (processUpdates or in your User converter) and seeing what's going on there.
