Hello everyone,
I just ran into an issue where #{cc.attrs.property} expressions don't work
when referenced via properties of child components if they're not referenced
inside of a tree traversal. More information here:
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-3283 (happens in both MyFaces
and Mojarra).
Section 5.6.2.1 (Implicit Object ELResolver for Facelets and Programmatic
Access) of the spec states the following:
cc -> the current composite component relative to
the declaring page in which the expression appears.
Since "current composite component" usually means the current composite
being processed during a tree traversal, "cc" can return null when it's
referenced elsewhere (i.e. in an action listener);.
I'm thinking that the "cc" implicit variable should return the parent
composite component in cases where no "current composite component" is
available.
Thoughts?
