[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Closed: (JBSEAM-1364) Bind Map to h:inputText value - causes 'model validation failed:String index out of range: -1'

Bind Map to h:inputText value - causes 'model validation failed:String index out of range: -1' ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1364 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1364 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Feature Request Components: JSF Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA Reporter: Clinton Parham Assigned To: Gavin King Fix For: 1.3.0.ALPHA I'm trying to bind a Map entry to h:inputText. The code below successfully extracts the value for the key when the page is loaded, but when I submit it, the page reloads with an error alongside the field: 'model validation failed:String index out of range: -1'. It appears that the s:validateAll that wraps h:inputText does not work properly when used this way?? (Gavin suggested that I submit this to JIRA - see forum thread reference) From the .xhtml Code: <h:form id="dataEntryForm"> ... <h:inputText id="asdf" required="true" value="#{biomarkers['waist']}" /> ... </h:form> From the session bean: Code: ... @Out Map<String, String> biomarkers = new HashMap<String, String>(); ... // method code that preps the Map prior to being used biomarkers.put("waist", "33.3"); ...
