    Value binding with generic method

    swenvogel

      Hi,


      i have some simple entity class that stores different restrictions, the restrictions
      are used for dynamic building of JPQL-Queries:


      @Entity
      public class Restriction extends BaseEntity {
        ...
        private String name = null;
        private T value = null;
        ...
      
        @Transient
        public T getValue() {
            return value;
        }
      
        public void setValue(T value) {
          this.value = value;
        }
      }
      



      The generic type parameter is used because different restrictions must hold different
      types of values, for example String for an name, Integer for an age. etc.


      I also want to take advantage of build in JSF/SEAM validation and conversation.



      The problem is that when is use the following in my xhtml, the value is allways null.


      <h:inputText value="#{restriction.value}" />
