                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1399
             Project: MyFaces Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: General
            Reporter: Stefan Meyer


You can register a converter for the elements of a selected collection of 
values but the collection type itself cannot be controlled by a converter. It 
appears to me that the implementation makes assumption about the developers 
intended collection type (one comments starts like "this is a curious 
situation..."). Instead the collection type should be configurable. I have the 
rather exotic application in mind where I want to edit an in-clause of an SQL 
query ("in (1,2,4)"). This String property apparently is eqivalent to a list of 
values of some type. If I want to be able to make this String property of a 
managed bean editable by a jsf page I need a converter that generates a 
collection of objects from the String.
