Composite Component: SelectOneMenu (enum)

[Marco Noronha]

I´m trying to create a simple composite component with a selectOneMenu... It is really simple:

<cc:implementation>
    <h:panelGrid columns="2">
        <p:outputLabel for="#{cc.attrs.fieldId}" value="#{cc.attrs.fieldLabel}"/>
        <p:selectOneMenu id="#{cc.attrs.fieldId}" required="#{cc.attrs.required}"
                  converter="#{cc.attrs.converter}" value="#{cc.attrs.targetValue}">
                <f:selectItem itemLabel="#{msg['label.selecione.item']}" itemValue="" />
                <f:selectItems value="#{cc.attrs.listValue}"/>
        </p:selectOneMenu>
    </h:panelGrid>          
</cc:implementation>

So, the problem is when I´m trying to pass the converter! That is an ENUM converter (extends EnumConverter with @FacesConverter(value = "tipoCampoConverter") annotation)

The error is: javax.el.ELException: Cannot convert tipoCampoConverter of type class java.lang.String to interface javax.faces.convert.Converter

If #{cc.attrs.listValue} is attached to an enum property, it will fail because "selectItems" requires a collection (List or array) of SelectItem, not a single enum, You would have to construct a SelectItem list with a SelectItem entry for each of the enum values that are selectable for this control.
