ValueExpressions for SelectItems are evaluated too often for checboxes or 
radios with spread layout

                 Key: TOMAHAWK-1605
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-1605
             Project: MyFaces Tomahawk
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: selectOneRadio / radio
    Affects Versions: 1.1.10, 1.1.9
         Environment: Myfaces 1.2.9/ 1.2.10, Richfaces 3.3.3, Facelets, Tomcat 
6.0.32
            Reporter: Michael Heinen


The method HtmlCheckboxRenderer.renderSingleCheckbox (or 
HtmlRadioRenderer.renderRadio) calls for each checkbox 
RendererUtils.getSelectItemList(uiSelectMany) two times.
RendererUtils creates a new SelectItemsIterator which evaluates the value 
expression again for each checkbox that should be rendered and creates each 
time a new List with SelectItems.
It is caused by
- method call getConverter(facesContext, uiSelectMany) which calls 
RendererUtils.getSelectItemList(uiSelectMany)
- and few lines later by direct call of 
RendererUtils.getSelectItemList(uiSelectMany)
 
>From a performance point of view this is not optimal. It would be better to 
>create the list once during response rendering and cache it somewhere (maybe 
>in request scope).

But even worse (and therefore from my pov a bug) is that this repeated 
evaluation could result in synchronization problems during the rendering of the 
response if the bound SelectItems array or collection is changed.
This could easily happen if the SelectItems are cached in an application scoped 
bean.
An IndexOutOfBoundsException will occur during response rendering if an item is 
removed by another thread.

This does not happen with "list" or "page" layout because the expression to get 
the SelectItems is evaluated once and then stored as a local var.

RendererUtils.internalGetSelectItemList contains already a comment for this:
"TODO: Shall we cache the list in a component attribute?"
