UISelectItems leaks memory/state
--------------------------------
Key: JBSEAM-890
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-890
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Bug
Components: JSF
Affects Versions: 1.1.7.GA
Reporter: Guy Veraghtert
When you use UISelectItems with a no selection label, a ConverterChain is set as the
converter of the component. As the converter is part of the component state, upon a
postback that converchain will be restored. However, when addNoSelectionLabel() is called
in UISelectItems (this method is called indirectly when getValue() is called), a new
ConverterChain instance is created and set as the converter of the component, the original
converter of that component (which was already a converterchain) will be added to the new
ConverterChain. As a result, NoSelectionConverter will be added to the chain more than
once, and worse: memory leaks/state grows and grows when multiple postbacks are made to
the same page (as the chain grows and grows).
