Hi Zdenek, > writing: > - check if special setter -> use it AND > - store in map
this won't work, of course - we are in a setter already, so we cannot use the attribute-map - thanks for setting me straight again. What you are suggesting would effectively change the API of every single JSF-component (contrary to your opinion, having getters and setters _does_ make sense to me - especially if you access the components from Java, and in any case, the spec mandates having them in the component class). We need to find a different way of doing things. regards, Martin
