autocompleteMethod giving PropertyNotFoundException when used in composite
Hi everyone,
I'm trying to develop a custom component based on Richfaces autocomplete, but I'm having trouble passing the "autocompleteMethod" attribute through my composite.
The composite seems to expect a property with a "getter" instead of a method, and thus is generating an exception when trying to use the autocomplete.
Here is the composite :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
xmlns:fn="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/functions"
xmlns:c="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core"
xmlns:a4j="http://richfaces.org/a4j"
xmlns:rich="http://richfaces.org/rich"
xmlns:composite="http://java.sun.com/jsf/composite">
<composite:interface>
<composite:attribute name="autocompleteMethod" method-signature="java.util.List filter(java.lang.String)" />
<composite:attribute name="value" type="java.lang.Object" />
</composite:interface>
<composite:implementation>
<rich:autocomplete id="autocomplete"
autocompleteMethod="#{cc.attrs.autocompleteMethod}"
value="#{cc.attrs.value}"
minChars="0"
showButton="true">
</rich:autocomplete>
</composite:implementation>
</html>
Here is my test page, with a standard autocomplete which works properly :

My setup is :
Eclipse indigo 3.7.0
jdk 1.6_30
Tomcat 7.0.25
Richfaces 4.2.0.Final
Mojarra 2.1.7
I've tried many things, such as :
- replacing tomcat el-api by el-api-2.2 found on maven
- tried with this el-api, both el-impl-2.2 of glassfish, and jboss-el 2.0.0.GA
- decalring the attribute as an javax.el.MethodExpression
All of this to no avail.
el-impl of glassfish gives another error : "wrong number of arguments, something like that.
I also tried tomcat 7.0.26, and i have same behavior.
Is this something to do with me? A JSF bug? A richfaces one? Or an el one?
Thanks in advance
