Hi everyone, I ran into a problem by using the inputTextarea component of myfaces-1.1.1. I simply like to display some editable text by adding
<h:inputTextarea id="patientHistory" rows="#{configBean.patientHistoryHeight}" cols="#{configBean.patientHistoryWidth}" value="#{bean.patientHistory}"/> to my jsp page. The application crashed with an ClassCastException [1] while retrieving the attribute cols for the tag. The two methods configBean.getPatientHistoryHeight and configBean.getPatientHistoryWidth are returning two Strings like "10" and "40" respectively. I double checked this by adding <h:outputText value="#{configBean.patientHistoryHeight}"/> by <h:outputText value="#{configBean.patientHistoryWidth}"/> to my page, which renders properly showing: 10 by 40 If I replace the value bindings for rows and cols by actual numbers, the application works fine. Any ideas why I can't use value bindings, which are returning string values, with the inputTextarea component?? Thank you for your help in advance, Kurt [1] here's the shortened stacktrace: javax.faces.FacesException: Could not get property rows of component buttonform:patientHistory at javax.faces.component._ComponentAttributesMap.getComponentProperty(_ComponentAttributesMap.java:226) at javax.faces.component._ComponentAttributesMap.get(_ComponentAttributesMap.java:128) [...snip...] Caused by: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39) at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:25) at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:324) at javax.faces.component._ComponentAttributesMap.getComponentProperty(_ComponentAttributesMap.java:221) ... 71 more Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException at javax.faces.component.html.HtmlInputTextarea.getRows(HtmlInputTextarea.java:321) ... 76 more ERROR: Servlet.service() for servlet Faces Servlet threw exception (2005-12-20 16:22:44,156 http-8080-Processor24_org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/sakai-ecgviewer-tool].[Faces Servlet]) javax.faces.FacesException: Could not get property rows of component buttonform:patientHistory at org.apache.myfaces.context.servlet.ServletExternalContextImpl.dispatch(ServletExternalContextImpl.java:421) at org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspViewHandlerImpl.renderView(JspViewHandlerImpl.java:234) at org.sakaiproject.jsf.app.SakaiViewHandler.renderView(SakaiViewHandler.java:140) [...snip...] Caused by: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Could not get property rows of component buttonform:patientHistory at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:370) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:291) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241) at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:802) [...snip...] ERROR: Servlet.service() for servlet sakai.ecgviewer.tool threw exception (2005-12-20 16:22:44,171 http-8080-Processor24_org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].[/sakai-ecgviewer-tool].[sakai.ecgviewer.tool]) javax.faces.FacesException: Could not get property rows of component buttonform:patientHistory at org.apache.myfaces.context.servlet.ServletExternalContextImpl.dispatch(ServletExternalContextImpl.java:421) at org.apache.myfaces.application.jsp.JspViewHandlerImpl.renderView(JspViewHandlerImpl.java:234) at org.sakaiproject.jsf.app.SakaiViewHandler.renderView(SakaiViewHandler.java:140) [...snip...] Caused by: org.apache.jasper.JasperException: Could not get property rows of component buttonform:patientHistory at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServletWrapper.service(JspServletWrapper.java:370) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.serviceJspFile(JspServlet.java:291) at org.apache.jasper.servlet.JspServlet.service(JspServlet.java:241) [...snip...]
