Custom converter - parameters not always work

Question

Hi,
I have a web page, which part looks like this:
<a4j:repeat value="#{list}" var="art">
    <h:outputText escape="false" value="#{art.content}">
        <my:substring length="125" />
    </h:outputText>
</a4j:repeat><my:substring /> is my custom converter, with parameter length (it has setLength, getLength methods).
Content of #{list} depends on parameter set in page bean. There are also links on the page, which change this parameter and refresh the page:
<h:commandLink value="#{paginator.currentPage + 2} ">
    <f:setPropertyActionListener target="#{paginator.currentPage}" value="#{paginator.currentPage + 2}"/>
</h:commandLink>After clicking link, page content changes as it should, but converter works with its default "length" parameter. My setting (length="125") is not used. There is new converter instance created, but setLength method is not called (I checked it by debug).
Anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Best regards
Pawel Stawicki
