Faces Converter Component

See Also

This advanced component is a custom <f:converter> tag that registers a converter (by converter id) on a UIComponent.

In hand authored JSP pages, the standard way to register a converter on an input or output UIComponent is to embed an appropriate tag inside the UIComponent tag. Choices are either a premade tag like <f:convertDateTime> or <f:convertNumber>, or this generic tag that lets you specify the converterId of a custom converter that the user has provided (and registered with a <converter> element in a faces-config.xml file).

Use this tag only for custom converters. If you want to use one of the standard converters, open the component's Properties window and set the converter property.
