I was able to solve the problem by creating a converter. I made it so that
Converter.getAsString() returns a String that is the Enum class name
followed by a ":" followed by the enum value. Then, when it does a
Converter.getAsObject(), it parses the String, creates an instance of the
Class, and calls Enum.valueOf() to get the Enum value. I'm guessing that at
some point JSF will have something like this by default? The only thing
about it is that the converter is only intended to be used with something
like h:selectOneRadio or h:selectOneMenu. i.e. the values are pretty ugly
and it's not exactly what you would want to appear in a text box.

Subject: OT: Possible to use Java 5 enum with h:selectOneRadio?
Does anyone know if it's possible to use a Java 5 type-safe enum with
h:selectOneRadio? On first try I'm receiving an error of "Conversion Error
setting value 'ISDN' for 'null Converter'." when using the JSF RI. I'm
guessing that I would need to create custom converter?
