JSF /Primefaces select one menu causing issues

My index.xhtml looks like 

<p:selectOneMenu value="#{tBean.selectedChartType}"
                    converter="entityConverter">
                    <f:selectItems value="#{tBean.chartTypes}" var="chart"
                        itemLabel="#{chart}" />
</p:selectOneMenu>

This presents ENUM list from my managed bean 

private List<ChartType> chartTypes = Arrays.asList(ChartType.values());

My Enum

public enum ChartType {

    Line("line"), Spiral_Line("spline"), Area("area"), Spiral_Area("areaspline");
    private String code;

    private ChartType(String code) {
        this.code = code;
    }

    public String getCode() {
        return code;
    }

    public void setCode(String code) {
        this.code = code;
    }
}

Now when I run this .jsf on browser sometimes it throw error :

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: http://xxxx/index.sf
Line Number 54, Column 733:

When I look at the source code I have found 

&nbsp;

which is causing this error I guess.

I am using JSF 2.2.0 and Primefaces 3.5

could someone please help me out with this issue?

A little late to help the asker, but perhaps can help someone: I got this same error and the only way I could get around it was adding the attribute contentType="text/html" to my <f:view>, as in

<f:view contentType="text/html">
...
  <p:selectOneMenu>
    <f:selectItem itemLabel="test" itemValue="test"/>
  </p:selectOneMenu>
...
</f:view>

This occurs, afaik, because p:selectOneMenu renders a &nbsp; and this character is not a xml entity. As my page uses DOCTYPE XHTML 1.0 Transitional, this causes the error to occur.

HTH.

Try as the following configuration in faces-config.xml

<converter>
    <converter-for-class>java.lang.Enum</converter-for-class>
    <converter-class>javax.faces.convert.EnumConverter</converter-class>
</converter>

page

    <p:selectOneMenu value="#{tBean.selectedChartType}">
        <f:selectItems value="#{tBean.chartTypes}" var="chart" itemLabel="#{chart}" />
    </p:selectOneMenu>
