Howard M. Lewis Ship commented on TAPESTRY-1457:
------------------------------------------------

Ah, the joys of JDK 5 varargs.  I really liked the idea of being able to pass 
Object... for the context.  The problem is that there's no way to distinguish 
explicit null from omitting the varargs parameters (it just shows up as an 
empty array).

I may have to convert the page context parameters to Object[] so that we can 
differential null from explict no context.

> It isn't possible to set an empty context using 'contex' parameter of 
> PageLink. It always treats null and zero length array/list in the same way - 
> asks the page about its activation context via onPassivate. I think that only 
> null should trigger onPassivate.
> Example
> <a t:type="PageLink" page="test" context="context">page link</a>
> public Object[] getContext()
> {
>       if (test == 0)
>               return new Object[] {"1", "2"}; // context will be ../test/1/2
>       else
>               if (test == 1)
>                       return new Object[0];   // onPassivate will be asked 
> but context should be empty IMO
>               else
>                       return null;    // onPassivate will be asked, ok
> }
