In Listing 18-18, note the use of the PrimeFaces' PickList component for selecting hobbies. The
PickList is bound to the hobbies property of the ContactBean class, which is of the DualListModel class.
The available hobbies are stored in the source property, while the selected hobbies are stored in the
target property. For the hobby property, we also need to implement a custom converter for
transformation between the String and Hobby classes. Listing 18-19 shows the converter class.
