-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: BEEHIVE-1193
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEEHIVE-1193
             Project: Beehive
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 1.0.2, 1.0.1
            Reporter: Carlin Rogers
         Assigned To: Carlin Rogers
             Fix For: V.Next


An ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException (or an AssertionError with asserts on) is 
thrown when client side Javascript disables the generated HTML select tag just 
before the form is submitted. The problem with this is that the additional 
hidden input element, <input type="hidden" ...>, used by the framework, 
provides form data that normally is not be present when the form is disabled 
via the NetUI tag attribute.

This hidden element is used by the framework and its name includes a special 
marker. So when the Javascript disables the select element, there is still a 
hidden <input> that gets processed. During the parameter processing the 
frameworks sees the input and determines that there should be select data to go 
with it but in this case there isn't because the Javascript disabled the select.

Need to make sure that parameter processing in the Select.SelectPrefixHandler 
class can handle this case correctly and treat as a null parameter value.
