The standard converter id for this converter.

The message identifier of the javax.faces.application.FacesMessage to be created if the conversion to Enum fails. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

• {0} replaced by the unconverted value.
• {1} replaced by one of the enum constants or the empty string if none can be found.
• {2} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

The message identifier of the javax.faces.application.FacesMessage to be created if the conversion to Enum fails and no target class has been provided. The message format string for this message may optionally include the following placeholders:

• {0} replaced by the unconverted value.
• {1} replaced by a String whose value is the label of the input component that produced this message.

Convert the value argument to one of the enum constants of the class provided in our constructor. If no target class argument has been provided to the constructor of this instance, throw a ConverterException containing the #ENUM_NO_CLASS_ID message with proper parameters. If the value argument is null or it has a length of zero, return null. Otherwise, perform the equivalent of Enum.valueOf using target class and value and return the Object. If the conversion fails, throw a ConverterException containing the #ENUM_ID message with proper parameters.

Convert the enum constant given by the value argument into a String. If no target class argument has been provided to the constructor of this instance, throw a ConverterException containing the #ENUM_NO_CLASS_ID message with proper parameters. If the value argument is null, return null. If the value is an instance of the provided target class, return its string value by casting it to a java.lang.Enum and returning the result of calling the name() method. Otherwise, throw a ConverterException containing the #ENUM_ID message with proper parameters.
