Select-Many-Component does not allow to register converter for collection but only collection elements ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MYFACES-1399 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
