Simply include a registration for the converter in one of your faces-config.xml files. The following entry will override the standard converer that is applied to any property of type Integer:

<converter> <converter-for-class>java.lang.Integer</converter-for-class>

<converter-class>com.mycompany.MyIntegerConverter</converter-class> </converter>

Your config files are read *after* the JSF implementation has been configured, so this *replaces* the standard one.

In other words, you want to use DI for configuring properties on a by-class converter? That, sadly, isn't supported unless you were to override the Application instance provided by your JSF impementation (or if your JSF implementation provided this feature as part of its own implementation, hint hint :-). The technique I described doesn't reference any by-id or by-type registered converters ... it creates anonymous instances.

But you don't *need* to use DI for this if your MyIntegerConverter class (see previous example) is already set up exactly the way you want it after the public zero-args constructor returns. All you need for that is the registration described above.
