Andrew are you sure Null values are not converted/validated? I always protect my "getAsString" method from null values. That is because most of the times, I do not initialize the value of <h:selectOneMenu> in the bean constructor. In these cases the "getAsString" method is sent a "null" object.
Anyway, Bansi, did you check that all validations are passed? Usually, there is some problem in validation phase that causes the conversion to be skipped. Did you put <h:messages> tag somewhere in your form to make sure all validations passed?
