Hi,
I do not know if I really understand your problem, but if you just want to
bind the commentText to the textarea it will be straight forward like this
appointmentBean.commentItemMap['Event Type'].commentText
this will call the getCommentText() method on the corresponding commentItem
in the map. No need for a converter here.
(But keep in mind that there has to be already such an entry in the map)
Regards,
Berthold
