Select-Many-Component does not allow to register converter for collection but
only collection elements
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1399
URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1399
Project: MyFaces Core
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: General
Reporter: Stefan Meyer
You can register a converter for the elements of a selected collection of
values but the collection type itself cannot be controlled by a converter. It
appears to me that the implementation makes assumption about the developers
intended collection type (one comments starts like "this is a curious
situation..."). Instead the collection type should be configurable. I have the
rather exotic application in mind where I want to edit an in-clause of an SQL
query ("in (1,2,4)"). This String property apparently is eqivalent to a list of
values of some type. If I want to be able to make this String property of a
managed bean editable by a jsf page I need a converter that generates a
collection of objects from the String.
