Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-1741: ----------------------------------------- The three binding properties from f:converter, f:validator and f:actionListener looks different, so i will concentrate first on a possible <f:converter> solution. Looking this issue in more deep, I have found some questions and answers: The spec doc says the following about <f:converter>: "..... The implementation class for this action must meet the following requirements: * Must extend javax.faces.webapp.ConverterJspTag. * The createConverter() method must: If binding is non-null, call binding.getValue() to obtain a reference to the Converter instance. If there is no exception thrown, and binding.getValue() returned a non-null object that implements javax.faces.convert.Converter, register it by calling setConverter(). If there was an exception thrown, rethrow the exception as a JspException.Use the converterId attribute if the converter instance could not be created from the binding attribute. If the converterId attribute is set, call the createConverter() method of the Application instance for this application, passing converter id specified by their converterId attribute. If the binding attribute was also set, store the converter instance by calling binding.setValue(). Register the converter instance by calling setConverter(). If there was an exception thrown, rethrow the exception as a JspException. " This is what myfaces do, implementing this behaviour on org.apache.myfaces.taglib.core.ConverterTag, and the actual behaviour of myfaces (it's doing what the spec says to do). CONCLUSION 1: Maybe this implementation detail refers to javax.faces.webapp.ConverterTag, which is now deprecated(but looking on jsf1.1 spec doc doesn't appear this paragraph). The actual behaviour of f:converter in JSF RI is different to the spec says(that is what the test says), maybe because the addition of binding attribute. Looking on core tld of JSF RI they use another class like myfaces, so I suppose that they are doing another thing there to do what actually does. So, if the previous conclusion is true, What should do a solution that works like JSF RI behaviour? (this behaviour is the spected behaviour for binding attribute): 1. The state of the converter must be restored (binding and converterId) in order to be called later in PROCESS_VALIDATIONS phase . Now, the tree saves something like this: <html.HtmlInputText id="bigint" ... converter="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" .... When the state is restored, this instace is called or recreated, so the binding is only assigned on ConverterTag. javax.faces.convert.BigIntegerConverter does not implement a StateHolder interface to save and restore the state, so I suppose that it is possible to create a class that implements Converter and StateHolder, and do something like a delegate pattern, to save converterId and binding values on the tree. 2. Restore the binding when getConverter() is called or something like that. > JSR-252 Issue 21 - Provided an additional "binding" attribute for the core > Converter, Listener and Validator tags has wrong behaviour > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-1741 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1741 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: JSR-252 > Affects Versions: 1.2.0 > Environment: Tomcat 6.0.14, Myfaces 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT (Oct 7 2007) > Reporter: Leonardo Uribe > Fix For: 1.2.1-SNAPSHOT > > > There is a problem with the behaviour of binding attribute from > actionListeners, validators and converters. > I have this test.
