Dynamically added JSF converter ignored in some cases since Mojarra 2.1.16 upgrade ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: AS7-6262 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/AS7-6262 Project: Application Server 7 Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 7.1.4.Final (EAP) Environment: Current 7.1.4.Final-SNAPSHOT (2013-01-02 be583f5) Reporter: Marek Schmidt Assignee: Stan Silvert Fix For: 7.1.4.Final (EAP) Attachments: AS7-6262.tar.gz, AS7-6262.war Dynamically created converters seems to be ignored in some special cases, like the following. Having a form like this: {code} <h:form> <ul> <ui:repeat value="#{basket.items}" var="i"> <li>Item #{i.number} <h:selectOneMenu value="#{i.color}"> <test:selectColors /> </h:selectOneMenu> </li> </ui:repeat> </ul> <div> <h:commandButton value="Add" action="#{basket.add}" /> </div> <h:outputText value="#{basket.string}" /> </h:form> {code} Where SelectColors is {code} @JsfComponent(description=(a)Description(displayName=&quot;org.jboss.seam.test.SelectColors&quot;,value=&quot;Creates a List<SelectItem> of colors."), family="javax.faces.SelectItems", type="org.jboss.seam.test.SelectColors",generate="org.jboss.seam.test.html.HtmlSelectColors", tag = @Tag(baseClass="javax.faces.webapp.UIComponentTagBase", name="selectColors")) public class SelectColors extends javax.faces.component.UISelectItems implements SystemEventListener { public SelectColors() { FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance(); UIViewRoot root = context.getViewRoot(); root.subscribeToViewEvent( PreRenderViewEvent.class, this ); } @Override public Object getValue() { List<SelectItem> ret = new LinkedList<SelectItem> (); ret.add(new SelectItem("default", "Select color... (black by default)")); ret.add(new SelectItem("red", "Red")); ret.add(new SelectItem("white", "White")); ret.add(new SelectItem("blue", "Blue")); ret.add(new SelectItem("black", "Black")); return ret; } private void addSelectionConverter() { UIComponent parentComponent = getParent(); if (parentComponent instanceof ValueHolder) { ValueHolder parentValueHolder = (ValueHolder) parentComponent; Converter parentConverter = parentValueHolder.getConverter(); if (parentConverter == null) { parentValueHolder.setConverter(new DefaultColorConverter()); } } } @Override public void processEvent(SystemEvent event) throws AbortProcessingException { if ( !FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().isPostback() ) { addSelectionConverter(); } } @Override public boolean isListenerForSource(Object source) { return ( source instanceof UIViewRoot ); } } {code} and the DefaultColorConverter being: {code} @FacesConverter(value="org.jboss.seam.test.DefaultColorConverter") public class DefaultColorConverter implements Converter { public static final String DEFAULT_COLOR = "black"; public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) throws ConverterException { if ("default".equals(value)) { return DEFAULT_COLOR; } return value; } public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ConverterException { return value.toString(); } } {code} In the pre-Mojarra 2.1.16 upgrade, clicking on the add button repeatedly creates "black" items. Post mojarra 2.1.16, it sets the color to "default", which should never happen, as the converter should convert the "default" value into "black".
