Injection Conversion

[hchen_0]

I want to inject a request parameter to a bean like bellow using expression:

@In(value="#{param.id}", required=false)
private Long id;

However, Seam gives error java.lang.IllegalArgumentException because the param value is of type String, which doesn't match the field's type Long. I think for injections, Seam should do some basic conversions from String to primitives and primitive wrappers.

Yes, this is probably a reasonable request. Please add it to JIRA.


Btw, you can also use:

@RequestParameter private String id;

I've implemented type conversion for @RequestParameter in CVS.

please try this out.
