That might fail badly causing a ClassCastException but as long as it works for 
you ;).

Thanks for creating the issue.

Here is a new JIRA https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-4755

I added the following code in my application class to implement what
you recommended as a fix. Maybe this will help other people who run
into this problem. Does this look good to you?

     @Override
     protected IConverterLocator newConverterLocator() {
         ConverterLocator locator = (ConverterLocator)
super.newConverterLocator();
         locator.set(Object.class, new BasicConverter());
         locator.set(Serializable.class, new BasicConverter());
         return locator;
     }

     private static class BasicConverter implements IConverter
     {
         @Override
         public Object convertToObject(String value, Locale locale) {
             return value;
         }

         @Override
         public String convertToString(Object value, Locale locale) {
             return value == null ? null : value.toString();
         }
     }


Thanks,

Alec

Hi,

Objects#convertValue()'s javadoc states that it returns null, if the value
can not be converted, thus your proposed change isn't valid for most cases.

You could easily fix this issue in your application by registering a custom
converter for Serializable.

Since Objects#convertValue() does more actually than "convert[ing]
numerically" (as stated in the javadoc, it handles booleans and Strings
too), I think the method could be improved, e.g by adding another
if-statement to it:

                 if (toType.isInstance(value))
                 {
                     result = toType.cast(value);
                 }

Please open an issue in Jira.

An easy fix for this bug is to change the first line in
org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Objects#convertValue from
Object result = null;
to
Object result = value;

Thanks,

I attached a quickstart with a test in
TestHomePage#formSubmitsSuccessfully.

The test throws "'NEW VALUE' is not a valid Serializable" error when
"NEW VALUE" string in "value" textField is submitted as a part of
myForm ajax submission.

This bug should have a high priority in 1.5 because this used to work
in 1.4 and there is no clear way to track down all places where this
needs to be fixed in the existing code base.

Thanks,

Alec

Hello,

I decided to extract this issue into a separate thread.

I keep running into issues with default type converters in 1.5. I also
think I found a bug in
org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Objects#convertValue. A call to
convertValue(nonNullNonArrayValue, Object.class) will always return
null if nonNullNonArrayValue is a value that is not null and not an
array! Shouldn't it always return the first parameter when the second
parameter is Object.class?

Is this a legitimate bug?

Thanks,

Alec
