[jira] Commented: (MYFACES-1295) wrong Converter on Arraytypes

Martin Marinschek commented on MYFACES-1295:
--------------------------------------------

Ok, I'll add a bit more to the discussion - the corresponding code is in _SharedRendererUtils; it's about changing the following segment:

        // Now, we have a converter...
        // We determine the type of the component array after converting one of it's elements
        if (vb != null)
        {
            valueType = vb.getType(facesContext);
            if (valueType != null && valueType.isArray())
            {
                if (submittedValue.length > 0) 
                {
                    arrayComponentType = converter.getAsObject(facesContext, component, submittedValue[0]).getClass();
                }
            }
        }

I really wonder why we are doing this - we know the arrayComponentType already by saying valueType.getComponentType(), why converting the first element and then taking this one?

regards,

Martin

>            Priority: Minor
>
> the method getConvertedUISelectManyValue overwrites the arrayComponentType of the ValueBinding with the type of the first converted value.
> This is not correct when i have an array of subclasses, the arrayComponentType of the ValueBinding should have the highest priority.
> When there is a arrayComponentType of the ValueBinding whitch is not String or Object it should not be overwritten by the type of the first element in the array.
> fix replace "if (vb != null)" with "if (vb != null && converter != null && arrayComponentType == null)"
