no, unfortunately, you can't use converters with parameters in the way you have tried (as you found out).

However, you could create a custom component generator for your property that as part of it's implementation created and attached a NumberConverter.

Have a look at the component generator wiki page: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Component_Generator_Framework and also the existing generators which can be found in org.alfresco.web.bean.generator

Hi, thanks for your reply.
I add an item (http://issues.alfresco.com/browse/AWC-1538) in JIRA.

Al the moment, I try to create a custom component generator.
Thanks,
Adrian.
