Code Assist and Validation of Static Methods (3.1 CR2)

[clerum]

I just upgraded to 3.1 CR2 for my seam ear project and for the first time enabled JSF and validated the syntax of my project.

I got everything cleaned up except for static methods in EL

for example I have

a seam POJO

@Name("searchTools")
public class SearchTools
{
   public static String getClassName(Object object)
   {
      if(object.getClass().getSimpleName().contains("$$"))
      {         
         return object.getClass().getSuperclass().getSimpleName();
      }
      else
      {
         return object.getClass().getSimpleName();
      }
   }   
}

which is called by

 <h:outputText value="Organization" rendered="#{searchTools.getClassName(result) == 'Organization'}" />

This code works fine but it throws a warning "getClassName" cannot be resolved" and autocomplete doesn't work.

This same problem happens when using seams

<h:outputText value="#{_invoiceLineItem.dateServiceEnd.time}">
     <s:convertDateTime type="date" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy" timeZone="#{timeZone.getTimeZone('GMT')}"/>                                      
</h:outputText>

The code works fine but since getTimeZone is a static method on java.util.Timezone (timeZone is a builtin seam component)

Any ideas? AFAIK this wasn't working in CR1 either.

Looks like a bug. I've reported this to JIRA. Thanks!

[clerum]

Thanks.

I see it is marked as 3.2next

I'm guessing that means it's too late in the cycle to make it for 3.1CR3?

You're right. it's complex fix and that why we cannot include it CR3 or GA. I think nightly builds for 3.2.0 are going to be available soon, so you'll have an opportunity to try it out when this issue is fixed.
