Strange methods in UISelectBoolean.java

[Sylvain Vieujot]

I don't understand the if( name.equals("selected") ) part in the following methods from src/jsfapi/javax/faces/component UISelectBoolean.java

Has anyone an explanation for this ?

Thanks,

Sylvain.

    public ValueBinding getValueBinding(String name)
    {
        if (name == null) throw new NullPointerException("name");
        if (name.equals("selected"))
        {
            return super.getValueBinding("value");
        }
        else
        {
            return super.getValueBinding(name);
        }
    }

    public void setValueBinding(String name,
                                ValueBinding binding)
    {
        if (name == null) throw new NullPointerException("name");
        if (name.equals("selected"))
        {
            super.setValueBinding("value", binding);
        }
        else
        {
            super.setValueBinding(name, binding);
        }
    }
