Encoder may not be instantiated directly.

[Keith Bottner]

I am trying to use a bundle a select component for the specific case  
of displaying a list of countries and from the all the documentation  
that I have run across and I always get an exception when the page is  
rendered. It says:

Component class com.shared.base.CountryEncoder may not be instantiated  
directly. You should use an @InjectPage or @InjectComponent annotation  
instead.

Code is below, any help is appreciated.

public class CountryEncoder implements ValueEncoder<Country>
{

  public String toClient( Country value )
  {
    if (null == value) return null;

    return value.getName();
  }

  public Country toValue( String clientValue )
  {
    if (InternalUtils.isBlank(clientValue)) return null;

    return DAO.getCountry(clientValue);
  }

}

public class CountryOptionModel implements OptionModel
{
  Country country;

  public CountryOptionModel(Country country)
  {
    this.country = country;
  }

  public String getLabel()
  {
    return country.getName();
  }

  public Object getValue()
  {
    return country;
  }

  public Map<String, String> getAttributes()
  {
    return null;
  }

  public boolean isDisabled()
  {
    return false;
  }
}

public class CountrySelectModel implements SelectModel
{
  private List<Country> countries;

  public CountrySelectModel()
  {
    countries = DAO.getCountries();
  }

  public List<OptionGroupModel> getOptionGroups()
  {
    return null;
  }

  public List<OptionModel> getOptions()
  {
    if (null != countries)
    {
      List<OptionModel> options = new ArrayList<OptionModel>();
      for (Country c : countries)
      {
        options.add(new CountryOptionModel(c));
      }
      return options;
    }

    return null;
  }

  public void visit( SelectModelVisitor visitor )
  {
  }
}

public class CountrySelect
{
  private Country selectedCountry;

  public Country getSelectedCountry()
  {
    return selectedCountry;
  }
  public void setSelectedCountry(Country country)
  {
    selectedCountry = country;
  }

  public CountrySelectModel getCountryModel()
  {
    return new CountrySelectModel();
  }

  public CountryEncoder getCountryEncoder()
  {
    return new CountryEncoder();
  }
}

And my template has this.

<t:select t:value="selectedCountry" t:model="countryModel"  
t:encoder="countryEncoder"/>


Any ideas?
