Hi Tobias,
you need a converter to convert the selected value (which is a string
at postback time) back into a Autor object.
Also the selectedAuthor should be type Author, not SelectItem.
As an alternative you can make the selectedAuthor of type String and
create the selectItems from author.toString().
Then you don't need a converter, but got loose of the Author object as value.
Regards,
Volker
