SelectOneListBox works with Customer Converter Problem

Question

I am keeping getting validation error when I try to convert SelectOneListBox String value to Name class which contains FirstName and LastName components.
here is what I did:
1. SelectOneList has two String items , I assigned the SelectOneList value to Name backend javabean, the source page code is:
<h:selectOneListbox styleClass="selectOneListbox" id="listbox1" value="#{pc_Test2View.name}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="Markus Sonnberg" itemLabel="Markus Sonnberg" />
<f:selectItem itemValue="Roland Paul" itemLabel="Roland Paul" />
</h:selectOneListbox>
2. The definition of Name java bean is:
public class Name implements Serializable{
     protected String firstName = null;
     protected String lastName= null;
get/set...()
3. Create the NameConverter class:
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {     
          Name name = new Name();
          System.out.println("..... before value: " + value);
          String[] nameComps = value.split(" ");
          name.setFirstName(nameComps[0]);
          name.setLastName(nameComps[1]);
          System.out.println("1st component of name: "+name.getFirstName());
          System.out.println("2nd component of name: "+name.getLastName());
          return name;
public String getAsString(FacesContext arg0, UIComponent arg1, Object name) {
          return name.toString();
4. register NameConverter in faces-config.xml
<converter>
<converter-for-class>de.impire.javabean.Name</converter-for-class>     
<converter-class>de.impire.converter.NameConverter</converter-class>
</converter>
5. Run the JSF page, from the console, I saw NameConverter is invoked, but the process aborted due to validation error.
From cosole:
[05.06.06 14:34:55:234 CEST] 18637864 SystemOut O 1st component of name: Markus
[05.06.06 14:34:55:234 CEST] 18637864 SystemOut O 2nd component of name: Sonnberg
On the JSF page, I got :
Validation error: the value is not valid.
Some ideas?

Answer 1

Could it be that the code doesn't find any value in ZCURR_PM_T table for the specified input region?
