SelectManyRendererBase can't handle setter
------------------------------------------

         Key: TOBAGO-59
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOBAGO-59
     Project: MyFaces Tobago
        Type: Bug

    Versions: 1.0.8    
    Reporter: Richard van Nieuwenhoven
    Priority: Minor


I think i found a bug in the class 
org.apache.myfaces.tobago.renderkit.SelectManyRendererBase. it can take an 
Object array as selected-object getter but needs a setter with a String[].
The information how to convert a Object into a String and back is normaly done 
with a javax.faces.convert.Converter but not in this case.....

I changed the last part of the decode method to:

   ....
   Object [] convertedValue = null;
   if (newValue == null) {
       convertedValue = new Object[0]; // because no selection will not 
submitted by browsers
   } else {
       convertedValue = new Object[newValue.length];
       for (int index=0;index < newValue.length;index++)
               convertedValue[index] = getConvertedValue(facesContext, 
component, newValue[index]);
   }

   uiSelectMany.setValue(convertedValue);

   ......

The situation improved now, but the setter must now have a parameter of type 
Object[].... I would like to use the specific type-array, but for that i have 
to know the specific-type in the decode method (to create the array in the 
correct type). the best solution would be if the "Update Model Values"  did the 
conversion from Object[] to SpecificType[].
