Leonardo Uribe commented on MYFACES-1904:
-----------------------------------------
I think it is because the description of the issue is incomplete. Note the
description of this issue does not have the logic inside the bean.
By that reason, it is not possible to see what's wrong, and fix it.
Additionally, it is not a common scenario. If you can provide a patch, or if
you can provide a test case, I'll check it and fix it.

> I have a managed bean called "treeManager", with a "selectedNode" property

> <h:outputLabel for="nodeDescription" value="Descripció"/>
> <h:inputText id="nodeDescription"
> value="#{treeManager.selectedNode.description}" />
> <h:outputLabel for="ambitType" value="Àmbit"/>
> <h:selectOneMenu id="ambitType" value="#{treeManager.selectedNode.ambit}">
> <f:selectItem itemLabel="Global" itemValue="global"/>
> <f:selectItem itemLabel="Organisme" itemValue="organisme"/>

> Comments from Simon Kitching on the mailing list:
> Interesting. From the stacktrace it look like the problem is when trying
> to determine the *type* that this expression returns.
> When actually asking for the value, null is simply returned if the
> intermediate object is not there.
> But when asking what static type of object would be returned from the
> bound property, of course there is a real problem if the intermediate
> node is not there.
> Here's the code from SharedRendererUtils.findUIOutputConverter; the
> getType call is the problem:
> Class valueType = vb.getType(facesContext); // boom when an
> intermediate node in the EL is null
> if (valueType == null) return null;
> if (String.class.equals(valueType)) return null; //No
> converter needed for String type
> if (Object.class.equals(valueType)) return null; //There is
> no converter for Object class
> The HtmlRendererUtils.internalRenderSelect uses
> converter = findUIOutputConverterFailSafe
> -- which obviously is not quite so "fail safe" :-)
> I'm not quite sure what the converter is being used for during rendering
> of the select component, but I do know that the rules about converters
> and select-components are quite complex. The HTML select component must
> always render strings for its options, but JSF requires typed objects to
> be passed between the select *component* and the backing beans. So
> conversions are required to be invoked at various times.
> I think a JIRA issues should definitely be filed for this. If a
> converter is optional here, then the code should catch this exception
> and not use a converter. Even if a converter is mandatory (ie an error
> should be reported if the value-type cannot be determined) then at least
> the error reporting needs to be improved. And it is definitely a myfaces
> issue, not a Geronimo one.
