Error With Simple Converter

[vijay saraf]

Hello All,

I am new to JSF and stucked at Simple Converter.......
I am unable to understand why i am getting java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch Error
here is the code

JSP:
..........
..........

<tr>
<td><h:outputText value="Enter Age: " /></td>
<td>
<h:inputText id="age" value="#{SimpleLogin.age}" required="true">
<f:convertNumber  type="number"  />
</h:inputText>    
<h:message for="age" showDetail="false" showSummary="true" />
</td>
</tr>

..........
..........

Bean:
..........
..........

private int age;
 
public int getAge() {
return age;
}
public void setAge(int age) {
this.age = age;
}

..........
..........

however its working when i do not enter any value or when i enter alphabates
it shows errors(Validation Error: Value is required. or Conversion error occurred. respectively )as expected.
but when i enter any Numeric value then i get error as java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch.
please help me to rectify the problem.
thanks.
