Postback problem for SerialClob object bound to a TextArea component

I have an application that uses a converter to convert a CLOB type to
String. The converter works and when executing the application, the
converted value appears in a TextArea component.

However, if I do a postback then I get an ambiguous error message
in a message component.

It seems that TextArea does not support *LOB types

Is there any way to display the value of the CLOB in a TextArea?

Or, I should bind the TextArea to a String then cache the CLOB value
and use the converter to set the TextArea value?
