Hi,

Objects#convertValue()'s javadoc states that it returns null, if the value can not be converted, thus your proposed change isn't valid for most cases.

You could easily fix this issue in your application by registering a custom converter for Serializable.

Since Objects#convertValue() does more actually than "convert[ing] numerically" (as stated in the javadoc, it handles booleans and Strings too), I think the method could be improved, e.g by adding another if-statement to it:

                if (toType.isInstance(value))
                {
                    result = toType.cast(value);
                }

Please open an issue in Jira.

An easy fix for this bug is to change the first line in
org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Objects#convertValue from
Object result = null;
to
Object result = value;

Thanks,

I attached a quickstart with a test in TestHomePage#formSubmitsSuccessfully.

The test throws "'NEW VALUE' is not a valid Serializable" error when
"NEW VALUE" string in "value" textField is submitted as a part of
myForm ajax submission.

This bug should have a high priority in 1.5 because this used to work
in 1.4 and there is no clear way to track down all places where this
needs to be fixed in the existing code base.

Thanks,

Alec

Hello,

I decided to extract this issue into a separate thread.

I keep running into issues with default type converters in 1.5. I also
think I found a bug in
org.apache.wicket.util.lang.Objects#convertValue. A call to
convertValue(nonNullNonArrayValue, Object.class) will always return
null if nonNullNonArrayValue is a value that is not null and not an
array! Shouldn't it always return the first parameter when the second
parameter is Object.class?

Is this a legitimate bug?

Thanks,

Alec
