Jakob Korherr commented on MYFACES-2418:
----------------------------------------
I tested these two scenarios an mojarra and I already have a solution for the
first problem.
The second problem is a bit strange. If you use something like this
public List<Integer> getSomeFieldValue()
{
.....
}
on mojarra and you also have SelectItems containing Integers, mojarra renders
the SelectItems, while MyFaces already fails here, because it cannot get a
Converter to convert the Integers to Strings for rendering. This is, of course,
easy to solve (we just have to take a look at the value type of the
SelectItems).
However, if you submit your selections on mojarra it adds the submitted values,
which are of type String, without any conversion to the ArrayList, which will
be set in setSomeFieldValue(List<Integer> value). This works, because java does
not check the type at runtime.
But now we have the problem that when we want to access the values, we will get
Strings instead of the expected Integers, which may cause «strange looking»
ClassCastExceptions in the user code.
Should we behave exactly like mojarra at this point, which on my opinion is
stupid and may confuse a lot of developers, or should we try to obtain a
Converter some other way?
I think looking at the type of the SelectItems will provide us a valid
converter and would be a better way.
The spec, of course, does not mention anything about this.
