JSF XHTML Validator is too restrictive when analyzing method return types ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-16295 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16295 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Enhancement Components: upstream Reporter: Lincoln Baxter III Assignee: Alexey Kazakov Attachments: scr.png, scr2.png, Screen Shot 2013-12-12 at 3.22.28 PM.png, Screen Shot 2013-12-12 at 3.22.40 PM.png The validator reports that only "String" may be returned from JSF action methods, but this is actually not the case. Any object may be returned, and .toString() will be called on it before JSF processes the navigation case.
