Jakob Korherr commented on MYFACES-2552:
----------------------------------------

One solution for this would be to return a special type != Map when resolving #{cc.attrs} and providing a special ELResolver for this type. Then we could use the original ValueExpressions of the attributes from the composite component to determine the type. Of course this would totally break the spec!!!

What are your opinions about that? Is this too unimportant to make such great changes or should we consult the EG and maybe change this behavior? Maybe in the next major release (2.1)?

> if you have a facelets composite component with an attribute "test" that points to a property in a managed bean (e.g. #{myBean.property}) which is currently null and you refer to that attribute in the implementation via #{cc.attrs.test} you can get the current value (null) or set a new value but you cannot get the type of the property (e.g. String[]). However if the property in the managed bean is non-null you can get the type.
> For example:
> <cc:interface name="mycomponent">
>     <cc:attribute name="test" required="true"/>
> </cc:interface>
> <cc:implementation>
>     <h:selectManyListbox value="#{cc.attrs.test}">
>         <f:selectItems value="#{some select items}"/>
>     </h:selectManyListbox>
> </cc:implementation>
> --> calling #{cc.attrs.test}.getType() will fail if #{cc.attrs.test} resolves to null, but will work if #{cc.attrs.test} resolves to some valid value.
> This currently results in a NullPointerException in _SharedRendererUtils.getConvertedUISelectManyValue().
