A custom converter has been created so that the ice:selectBooleanCheckbox can use a Byte value instead of a Boolean. Due to a known issue with JSF, a custom renderer for the CheckboxRenderer is required so that the getAsObject() method can be correctly called.

This code is working fine with ICEfaces 1.8.x. Upon migration to ICEfaces 3.1.0 this code is no longer working and is throwing the following exception:

javax.el.ELException: /welcomeICEfaces.xhtml @22,94 value="#{testBean.checkBoxValue}": Cannot convert 0 of type class java.lang.Byte to class java.lang.Boolean
