      Description

      If I have something like this:

      <ice:outputText converter="MyConverter" value="#{MyBean.value}"/>

      The MyConverer.getAsString() method does not get called if MyBean.getValue() returns a java.lang.String object.
      See: http://java.sun.com/javaee/javaserverfaces/1.1_01/docs/api/javax/faces/convert/Converter.html

      In the forum post, the user named "edykory" identified a fix:

      My guess is that you all put this code in there to increase performance, but you're assuming that the Converter would not want to convert the java.lang.String value into some other type of String.

      For example, you might want to convert the String "true" to "Yes" or "false" to "No".
