thanx for response and sharing of Your ideas.

i would like to register ma converter and use it on many pages.
but when i hardcode this
#{backingBean.selectItemList}
than obvoiusly my converter is coupled with one specific bean (and 
few specific pages - in optimistic case) :/


btw: now im doing it like this:


public class BackingBean{

	private List<SelectItem> items;

	public List<SelectItem> getItems(){
		return items
	};

	public Converter getConverter(){
		return new MyClassConverter(getItems());
	}
}


i dont like my solution cause i just dont want to repeat:
public Converter getConverter(){
	return new MyClassConverter(getItems());
}
in every bean that backs my combo controls (but it works and is 
flexible)

best regards and once again thanks for response
