not needed in 1.1.1?

[Matt Raible]

In MyFaces 1.1.0, I had:

<h:inputHidden value="#{userForm.user.version}" id="version">
    <f:convertNumber/>
</h:inputHidden>

In 1.1.1, I get the following error from this code:

[appfuse-jsf] ERROR [http-8080-Processor25] [/appfuse-jsf].log(674) | Cannot set
 value for expression '#{userForm.user.version}' to a new value of type java.lan
g.Long

user.version}' to a new value of type java.lang.Long

        at javax.faces.component.UIComponentBase.processUpdates(UIComponentBase.
java:428)

If I remove <f:convertNumber/> in 1.1.1, everything works fine:

<h:inputHidden value="#{userForm.user.version}" id="version"/>

Is this "as designed"?

Thanks,

Matt
