Method Detail

getReadOnlyValueString

public java.lang.String getReadOnlyValueString(javax.faces.context.FacesContext context)

Return the value to be rendered, as a String (converted if necessary), or null if the value is null.

Parameters:

                                             java.lang.Object newValue)
                                      throws javax.faces.convert.ConverterException

Return the converted value of newValue. If newValue is null, return null. If newValue is "", check the rendered value. If the the value that was rendered was null, return null else continue to convert.
