CDI Injection into a FacesConverter

by

Replace

@FacesConverter(value = "categoryConverter")

by

@Named

and use

<h:inputSomething converter="#{categoryConverter}" />

or

<f:converter binding="#{categoryConverter}" />

instead of

<h:inputSomething converter="categoryConverter" />

or

<f:converter converterId="categoryConverter" />

By the way, similar problem exist for @EJB inside a @FacesConverter. It however offers a way to be grabbed by JNDI manually. See also Communication in JSF 2.0 – Getting an EJB in @FacesConverter and @FacesValidator. This way you can use a @FacesConverter(forClass=Category.class) without manually defining it everytime. Unfortunately I can’t tell from top of head how to realize that for CDI beans.

Update: if you happen to use JSF utility library OmniFaces, since version 1.6 is adds transparent support for using @Inject and @EJB in a @FacesConverter class without any additional configuration or annotations. See also the CDI @FacesConverter showcase example.
