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
