[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-1355) ConverterChain.getAsString behaves incorrectly if the input is String already

ConverterChain.getAsString behaves incorrectly if the input is String already ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-1355 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1355 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 1.2.1.GA Reporter: Sergey Koshcheyev Assigned To: Pete Muir Fix For: 1.3.1.BETA1 ConverterChain.getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) will return null if value is String already. It should cast the value to String and return that instead. Proposed fix: change String output = null; to String output = value instanceof String ? (String) value : null; This happens when UIComponent.value is bound to a String property. In this case no "final" converter will be added to the chain, so output will be null after the loop in getAsString.
