</div>I can certainly do so - however, I don't think that I will get any<br>
response amounting to this being fixed.<br>

Do you guys think we should fix this in the JSF implementations, by<br>
passing in java.lang.Object to the underlying EL expression, and doing<br>
the coercion ourselves? We - most of the time - wrap the<br>
value-expression in a Facelets TagValueExpression anyways, so we could<br>
certainly do this! If the RI team agrees, I can certainly give word<br>
out to the MyFaces team discussing if that is reasonable to us as<br>
well.<br></blockquote><div><br>I think it would be more reasonable to try to handle this ourselves. As you mentioned, there is already a layer in between, so it's not like this is a one off solution. To be honest, I'm on the fence, but I also want to get rid of annoyances sooner rather than later and that makes me lean towards a fix in JSF.<br>
