My Setup:
- Mojarra 2.2.12
I have an abstractsubclass of a FacesConverter.
Sometimes JSF initializes the superclass and sometimes it fails on trying to instantiate the abstract subclass.
I allready found a workaround. I removed the abstract keyword and gave the AbstractTestConverter a FacesConverter annotation which isn't used then.
This is my reproduction of the problem:
TestBean.java
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.ViewScoped;
@ManagedBean
@ViewScoped
public class TestBean {
private boolean testProp;
public boolean getTestProp() {
return testProp;
}
public void setTestProp(boolean test) {
this.testProp = test;
}
}
TestConverter.java
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.convert.Converter;
import javax.faces.convert.FacesConverter;
@FacesConverter("testConverter")
public class TestConverter implements Converter{
@Override
public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) {
if (value.equals("Test")) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
@Override
public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
if (((boolean)value)) {
return "Test";
}
return null;
}
}
AbstractTestConverter.java
public abstract class AbstractTestConverter extends TestConverter{
}

I earn the following stacktrace:

Isn't it possible to use an abstract subclass of a FacesConverter?
