managed bean: <list-entries>handling does not follow the spec
-------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-536
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-536
Project: MyFaces
Type: Bug
Components: JSR-127
Versions: Nightly Build
Reporter: Oliver Rossmueller
>From the spec document page 5-13:
"For <list-entries>:
1. Call the property getter, if it exists.
2. If the getter returns null or doesn't exist, create a java.util.ArrayList,
otherwise use the returned Object (an array or a java.util.List).
3. If a List was returned or created in step 2), add all elements defined by
nested <value> elements in the order they are listed, converting values defined
by nested <value> elements to the type defined by <value-class>. If a value is
given as a value binding expression, evaluate the reference and store the
result, converting to <value-class> if necessary. If a <value-class> is not
defined, use the value as-is (i.e., as a java.lang.String). Add null for each
<nullvalue> element.
4. If an array was returned in step 2), create a java.util.ArrayList and copy
all elements from the returned array to the new List, wrapping elements of a
primitive type. Add all elements defined by nested <value> elements as
described in step 3).
5. If a new java.util.List was created in step 2) and the property is of type
List, set the property by calling the setter method, or log an error if there
is no setter method.
6. If a new java.util.List was created in step 2) and the property is a java
array, convert the List into an array of the property type, and set it by
calling the setter method, or log an error if there is no setter method.
7. If a new java.util.List was created in step 4), convert the List to an array
of the proper type for the property and set the property by calling the setter
method, or log an error if there is no setter method."
MyFaces skips Step 1 and creates a new ArrayList instance in any case.
