Hi Simon, probably your Employee-Class is not serializable and do not implement equals? If it is not implementing equals, every instance is different...

I already seached this forum but found no answer for my problem that I hope is simple to fix. I have a selectOneListBox that displays Employees that should be selected. I wrote a converter but I always get a "Wert ist keine gültige Auswahl" - means "value is invalid" Here is my code: <t:selectOneListbox id="employees" size="1" value="#{newScheduleEntryForm.responsibility}"> <t:selectItems value="#{peopleHandler.allEmployees}" var="thisItem" itemLabel="#{thisItem.firstName} #{thisItem.lastName}" itemValue="#{thisItem}" /> </t:selectOneListbox> In newSheduleEntryForm public EmployeeVO getResponsibility() {...} public void setResponsibility(EmployeeVO responsibility) {...} in peopleHandler public List<EmployeeVO> getAllEmployees() {...} the Converter public EmployeeVO getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) throws ConverterException { if ( value == null) return null; for ( EmployeeVO employee : ps.getAllEmployees()) { if ( employee.getId().toString().equals(value)) { System.out.println("employee found: " + employee.getLastName()); //this is put to console so the converter works! return employee; } } throw new ConverterException ("EmployeeConverter.getAsObject: There is no EmployeeVO for Value " + value + ", type=" + value.getClass().toString()); } public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ConverterException { if ( value == null) return null; if (value instanceof EmployeeVO) { EmployeeVO person = (EmployeeVO) value; return person.getId().toString(); } throw new ConverterException ("EmployeeConverter.getAsString: This is no EmployeeVO, value=" + value.toString() + ", type=" + value.getClass().toString()); } -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/selectItems-alsway-throw-validation-error-tf3472646.html#a9691017 Sent from the MyFaces - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
