I stumbled over the following code (lines 82ff of
org.apache.myfaces.renderkit.html.HtmlRendererUtils):
//request parameter not found, nothing to decode - set
submitted value to empty
//if the component has not been disabled
if(!isDisabledOrReadOnly(component))
{
((EditableValueHolder) component).setSubmittedValue(
RendererUtils.EMPTY_STRING );
}
The whole else branch is for components like checkboxes or radiobuttons
where no value is submitted if they are not checked. But I could not
find a reason for why submittedValue is set to empty string. IMHO line
86 should be
((EditableValueHolder) component).setSubmittedValue(null);
So what am I missing here?
