SelectUtils.getConvertedUISelectManyValue more restrictive than it needs to be ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-7606 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/RF-7606 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Components: component Affects Versions: 3.3.2.CR1 Environment: JBoss 4.2.2.GA, RichFaces 3.2.1.GA, windows xp sp2 x86 Reporter: Andr? Fernandes Assignee: Nick Belaevski Priority: Minor Fix For: Future on line 189 of the org.ajax4jsf.util.SelectUtils we see if (List.class.isAssignableFrom(valueType)) .... But I think it don't need to be List. It should be Collection because it is less restrictive and works just fine. :) I found this when I was using an Entity with a Collection<AClass> and a <rich:pickList ...> <s:selectItems ...></s:selectItems> </rich:pickList> on the view. When I was posting back to the server, it was throwing an exception (think it is IllegalArgumentException). Then I get the source for RichFaces and find out that the SelectUtils.getConvertedUISelectManyValue was not expecting a Collection, but instead it was expecting a List. Then I change my entity to have a List<AClass> and it works just fine. If the line 189 just change to if (Collection.class.isAssignableFrom(valueType)) it should work.
