Hi
I have seen that. The problem is in spec javadoc, the behavior for
UIComponent.process*
and encode* is clear about the ordering.
In theory, pushComponentToEL should be called before any call to
isRendered, but after
isTransient. Look on MyFaces UIComponentBase.processRestoreState. It has this
public void processRestoreState(FacesContext context, Object state)
{
if (context == null)
{
throw new NullPointerException("context");
}
Object[] stateValues = (Object[]) state;
try
{
// Call
UIComponent.pushComponentToEL(javax.faces.context.FacesContext,
javax.faces.component.UIComponent)
pushComponentToEL(context, this);
// Call the restoreState() method of this component.
restoreState(context, stateValues[0]);
The spec javadoc says the opposite, restoreState should be called "before"
pushComponentToEL but in practice that breaks UIComponent.EventListenerWrapper.
I reported the bug long time ago, but it wasn't fixed (I don't know why).
This case is similar. This should be fixed on the spec, but I don't
see a reason why we shouldn't commit that into myfaces code, because
after all, nobody relies on the buggy behavior.
I think we should open a new issue on the spec issue tracker:
http://java.net/jira/browse/JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC
but fix it on myfaces code.
