use generic entityConverter (proposed by BalusC) for selectonemenu if primefaces

Question

I want to use this generic converter in all <p:selectOneMenu /> but it doesn't show data and I have no exceptions.

I don't know the problem

<p:selectOneMenu id="articles-type" style="margin-right:20px;"
                 converter="entityConverter"
                 value="#{newsessionVentesMB.selectedTypeFiltre}">
    <f:selectItem itemLabel="Selectionner Type" itemValue="" />
    <f:selectItems itemLabel="#{t.libelle}" itemValue="#{t}"
                   value="#{newsessionVentesMB.listTypes}" var="t" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

How can I achieve this?

if your f:selectItems does not print any option, try to:

check #{newsessionVentesMB.listTypes}
remove converter
change from p:selectOneMenu to h:selectOneMenu

only for debug purpose.

without any info on how newsessionVentesMB.listTypes is implemented this is the best i con do...

Proceed as Michele Mariotti sais and make sure that you're #{t.libelle} is not null for all the entries of the list. – Hamza ED-DOUIBI May 20 '13 at 10:38

I solved the problem by putting noSelectionOption="true" on the empty selectItem like this:

<f:selectItem itemLabel="Selectionner Type" itemValue="" noSelectionOption="true" />

I hope this helps.
