I am certain I have got this working in the past, but it doesn't want to work today.
Example:
@FacesConverter(value = "inputConverter")
public class InputConverter implements Converter {
private InputRepository inputRepository;
@Override
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, String arg2) {
List<Input> allInputs = inputRepository.findAll();
for(Input input : allInputs) {
if(input.getInputName().equals(arg2)) {
return input;
}
}
return null;
}
@Override
public String getAsString(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object arg2) {
Input input = (Input) arg2;
return input.getInputName();
}
public InputRepository getInputRepository() {
return inputRepository;
}
@Inject
public void setInputRepository(InputRepository inputRepository) {
this.inputRepository = inputRepository;
}
}
Result:
Null pointer exception on the itemRepository.findAll() call - the @Inject didn't set it.
