Bug in myfaces Core 1.2 HtmlCheckboxRendererBase?

[Eivind Ronnevik <ei...@kadme.com>]

Hi!

 

I try to build up a form programmatically, and one of my inputs should be a checkbox.

 

I decided to use the HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox, and create it like this:

 

HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox myCheckBox = new HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox();

myCheckBox.setId("checkBox");

myCheckBox.setValueExpression("value", FactoryUtil.createValueExpression("#{myHandler.myProperty}"));

 

The valueExpression points to a property in my bean which is of type boolean:

 

private boolean myProperty;

 

public boolean isMyProperty()

{

      return myProperty;

}

public void setMyProperty(boolean myProperty)

{

      this.myProperty = myProperty;

}

 

But then, when the page is rendered, I get this exception:

[javax.faces.webapp._ErrorPageWriter] An exception occurred

 

......

So, it seems that there is something wrong in the converter then or? Because I should use a boolean property in my bean?

 

I am using myFaces-1.2.3 together with tomahawk-1.1.6 and richFaces 3.2.1

 

Any help would be appreciated
