I have updated my Roo to 1.1.1 and then followed the instructions here:

http://www.springsource.org/roo/guide?w=upgrade

regarding converters.

My drop downs are correctly dealing with Organisation using my new ApplicationConversionServiceFactoryBean, however, when I visit a Roo "Show" page I get this new exception:

Any ideas? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
