CDK Generated component with property type Object[] creates

[wheelermm]

I am attempting to generate a component using the CDK. However, if I have a property of type java.lang.Object[], then an invalid import statement is created in the resulting taglib.

For example, say I have the following property in my component configuration file:

 <property>
 <name>selectedValues</name>
 <classname>java.lang.Object[]</classname>
 <description>A list of the selected values.</description>
 </property>

The resulting Tag.java class contains the following:

import java.lang.Object[] ;
//...
 if (this._selectedValues.isLiteralText()) {
 try {

 java.lang.Object[] __selectedValues = (java.lang.Object[]) getFacesContext().
 getApplication().
 getExpressionFactory().
 coerceToType(this._selectedValues.getExpressionString(),
 java.lang.Object[].class);

 comp.setSelectedValues(__selectedValues);
 } catch (ELException e) {
 throw new FacesException(e);
 }
 } else {
 component.setValueExpression("selectedValues", this._selectedValues);
 }

This can of course be duplicated with a property of any name, and with type Object[], but in my case, I actually don't even have to define the selectedValues property, as it is part of an extended component. However, since the target of the EL comp.setSelectedValues(Object[]) is Object[], I cannot change the type. Is there any way to get around this, and make the CDK not generate the invalid import (java.lang.Object[])?

Thanks,

Matt W.

By the way, this is using RichFaces version 3.3.0.GA.

Never mind. I found an example in the RichFaces picklist.xml configuration file:


selectedValues
java.lang.Object[]

Sorry I meant:

<property hidden="true">
 <name>selectedValues</name>
 <classname>java.lang.Object[]</classname>
 </property>
