Hello,
I am doing my first steps with Shale and ran into some problems with
Shale Tiger. I think the @Property-annotation has the same semantics as
the managed-property thing in the faces-config.xml. Main difference
seems to be that @Property only supports non-null values whereas
managed-property also has a subproperty "null-value". I had a look at
the ManagedPropertyConfig.class in the Tiger source code and found out
that there actually is also a nullValue-property for Tiger-Managed
properties. But how can I tell with a @Property annotation that I want
that property to start with a null value? I tried the following:
1. @Property(name="newUser", value=null)
private User newUser;
That doesn't work as java tells me that "value must be a constant
expression".
2. @Property(name="newUser", value="")
private User newUser;
That doesn't work as shale searches for a converter from String to User
but cannot find one. That results in a null pointer exception.
Maybe I am missing something but it seems that shale tiger is not able
to work wih nullValue-properties if I'd like to define them using
annotations.
I hope someone can help me find out how to use tiger here.
Thanks a lot in advance and best regards
Dominik
