Answer 1

Your problem is not in the DoctrineParamConverter , it is in your controller.

Param Converters are components that convert parameters (ok, I know, the name tell it but...). When you write :

public function myAction(Request $request)

a param converter will give you the Request object.

And when you write :

public function myAction(MyEntityClass $object)

Then the DoctrineParamConverter will try to find an Doctrine entity matching your routing parameters.

I recommand this article from the Symfony's documentation.
