Title Body

From just a few searches, this seems like a problem that has been around for a while. I have written a FacesConverter that looks like the following. The object Category is a JPA entity and CategoryControl is the DAO that fetches it. @FacesConverter(value = "categoryConverter") public class CategoryConverter implements Converter { @Inject private CategoryControl cc; public CategoryConverter() { } @Override public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) { if (cc != null) return cc.getByName(value); System.out.println("CategoryConverter().getAsObject(): no injection!"); return null; } @Override public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) { if (!(value instanceof Category)) return null; return ((Category) value).getName(); } } As you probably guessed by now, I never get the injection. I got this workaround from this page , which looks like this.: Workaround for this problem: create this method in your localeController: public Converter getConverter() { return FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getApplication().createConverter("localeConverter"); } and use converter="#{localeController.converter}" in your h:selectOneMenu. However I can't make this work either. My backing bean creates and returns a converter all right, but it doesn't get the object injected into it. I am using MyFaces CODI 1.0.1. With the current GlassFish/Weld container. Can anyone suggest a solution before I re-code to not use a Converter?
