primefaces JSF p:selectOneMenu submitting null value

Question

after researching for a while I still cannot find what I'm doing wrong.

I'm using Primefaces 3.5 with Seam. I have a selectOneMenu that is submitting a null value to the method manualServiceRequestController.setService(Service service). This is the .xhtml code:

<p:selectOneMenu id="service" value="#{manualServiceRequestController.service}">
    <f:converter converterId="serviceConverter" />
    <f:selectItems value="#{manualServiceRequestController.allServices}" />
    <p:ajax render="parameterPanel" event="change" process="@parent" partialSubmit="true" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

Thanks!

The problem should be in the converter, so show us the relevant converter code. — skuntsel
No, I've debugged converter and it also receives a null string to convert to object. — jigarzon
There is another funny thing, if I set required="true" to p:selectOneMenu, the request is never sent to the server. I've also checked logs ( <p:log> ) and nothing unusual appears. — jigarzon
Strange enough. What's in the request parameter map then? Did you inspect it? — skuntsel
Could you provide an SSCCE for that? Just reduce the problem to its minimum copy'paste'run version and post it. — Xtreme Biker

The problem was the attribute partialSubmit="true". I removed it and now the correct value is sent. I still don't understand exactly why.

Thanks skuntsel and Xtreme Biker for your responses.

Regards!
