Erm, I think you mean "org.apache.myfaces.adf.component.ChildArrayList"...

But, yes, I agree;  could you file an issue and create a patch?  Also,
if you could add a new testcase to
org.apache.myfaces.adf.component.AddRemoveTest
to expose this problem and verify the fix, that'd be great.

Some one reported an issue related to
oracle.adf.view.rich.component.ChildArrayList class in Trinidad.

Here is the code in the add(int index, Object element) method in
ChildArrayList class:

   if (child.getParent() != null)
   {
     index = __removeFromParent(child, index);
   }
   child.setParent(_parent);
   super.add(index, child);

What it is trying to do is to add a new child (the child variable in the
code) to this ChildArrayList, and automatically detach the new child from
its old parent, if exists, by calling __removeFromParent.

If you look into the __removeFromParent() method, you can find out that
this
chunk of code assumes that the old parent is identical to the new parent
it
is being added under, and __removeFromParent returns an adjusted index
value
according to this assumption. This assumption is not always right and this
is causing problems.

One way of fixing this issue is:

    int adjustedIndex = index;
    Object oldParent = child.getParent();
    if (oldParent != null)
    {
      adjustedIndex = __removeFromParent(child, index);
      if(oldParent == _parent)
      {
          index = adjustedIndex; //Only make the index adjustment when the
child is re-added to the same parent
      }
    }
   child.setParent(_parent);
   super.add(index, child);

I'd like to get your comment. If every one agrees to make this change, I
will create a patch.

Thanks!
