title: Grails g:select to autocomplete
body: <p>I've changed a g:select field to a yui autocomplete (without using the yui plugin) and now I'm getting:  </p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to convert property value of type [java.lang.String] to required type...  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>println the params in the controller looks identical in both cases.</p>
  
  <p>I can go ahead and use the String id in the params and get the required domain object but I'd like to use the binder.</p>
  
  <p>I guess its the way the <a href="http://forum.springsource.org/showthread.php?t=14451" rel="nofollow noreferrer">binder</a> works but couldn't find the problem.</p>
  
  <p>Is it possible to get it to bind the object using the ID as done when using g:select ?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks,
  Guy</p>
