Clay @ symbol not setting taglib mutator to null

[Darran White]

Hi,

Not sure if this is a bug in clay but the clay documentation states

"If the result of the substitution is a zero length string, a null value
is returned and the value is not apply to a property"

 

I have a clay config file using acegijsf it is configured as follows

 

      <component jsfid="acegijsf:authorize"
componentType="net.sf.jsfcomp.acegijsf.Authorize" allowBody="true">

            <attributes>

                  <set name="ifAllGranted" value="@ifAllGranted"/>

                  <set name="ifAnyGranted" value="@ifAnyGranted"/>

                  <set name="ifNotGranted" value="@ifNotGranted"/>

            </attributes>

      </component>

 

If in my html I use

<span jsfid="acegijsf:authorize" ifAnyGranted="ROLE_ADMIN" >

                ADMIN ONLY STUFF........

</span>

 

When the page is rendered the Authorize class is having its methd

 

public void setIfAllGranted(String ifAllGranted)

 

set to "@ifAllGranted"

 

and 

 

public void setIfNotGranted(String ifNotGranted)

 

set to "@ifNotGranted"

 

Now I believe these should be set to null and its causing the acegijsf
to work incorrectly as it expects null values for these attributes if
they`re not set.

 

If I replace the symbols with el the same problem occurs.

 

I have a temporary work around which is to create separate widgets for
each of the attribute options but wondered if any body else had
experienced this?

 

So work around is 

      <component jsfid="acegijsf:ifAnyAuthorize"
componentType="net.sf.jsfcomp.acegijsf.Authorize" allowBody="true">

            <attributes>

                  <set name="ifAnyGranted" value="@ifAnyGranted"/>

            </attributes>

      </component>
