Hi Alan, I'n not an expert by any means, but I have not come across <f:converter> tag that allows anything other than the id. I think if you want to pass parameters, you couls try something along the lines of : <f:converter converterId="GwOutTextConverter"> <f:param id="substring" value="5" /> </f:converter>
Then in your converter you can access the parameters from the Request Parameter map which you can get a hold of from the faces context.
