[jsr-314-open] Coercion in the EL

Hi all, I don't know if we discussed this already, but today the coercion issue in the EL made me loose a few hours again. I've had this before, but seemingly forgot about it - time to follow up on this. The issue in short: collapsed="#{bb.collapsed}" Boolean getCollapsed() { return null; } will lead to a value of "false" for the collapsed attribute if java.lang.Boolean is set as the expected type of the corresponding value-expression, according to the EL spec. Hrmmpf. You can read more in this blog-entry: http://www.irian.at/blog/blogid/unifiedElCoercion/#unifiedElCoercion Are we going to say that for JSF 2.0 Facelets we will never set the expected-type? Or are existing EL implementations not following the spec and this is not a problem in reality (however, at least the one that I use does follow the spec)? regards, Martin -- http://www.irian.at Your JSF powerhouse - JSF Consulting, Development and Courses in English and German Professional Support for Apache MyFaces
