Passing null in JBoss EL?

[stephen]

I use a parameter in an action expression. Sometimes I'd like to pass null as argument.

<tr:commandLink text="Clear Filter" immediate="true" action="#{documentView.setFilterId(null)}">

The action handler method is

public void setFilterId(Long id) {

This more or less works, however when passing null in EL the java side received 0 (zero).

Not a big deal, but quite unexpected and makes the java code a little uglier.

Is it a bug?

I recall this from last year sometime. It's an EL feature

Cheers,
