Still trying to understand how you're using it in order to fully
understand the problem:
Where exactly are you using the convertor? In the binding definition? If
the Javabean holds a Boolean property, why do you need the convertor
there?

Regardless of this, it seems to me that if there is no value to convert,
the convertor shouldn't be called in the first place.
