----------------------------------------

Thanks for looking at this. The offered solution should work for me - the Converter can then connect to the appropriate service (or a simple list of detached domain objects) to retrieve and return the POJO via its id. Thanks!

> When assigning AutoCompleteTextField an iterator of POJOs instead of Strings (via the overridden getChoices() method, which returns an Iterator),. getModelObject() needs to be able to return POJO instances instead of the Strings produced by the custom AutoCompleteTextRenderer. 
> This situation arose when I had to feed a list of POJOs into my AutoCompleteTextfield - which worked fine after writing a simple subclass of AbstractAutoCompleteTextRenderer, which grabbed the POJO's name field for screen rendering (the list inside the <div> tag). Problem is that the call to getModelObject *seems* to use the text from renderer.getTextValue(), which required me to manually match that string to the name fields of the cached POJOs. In a preferred scenario getModelObject() would return the object references that were fed into getChoices().
