Let's say I have this attribute on a composite component:
<composite:attribute name="foo" type="java.lang.Integer" default="50"/>
Let's also say I have a Java class backing the composite component (to
generate config strings, etc). In this Java class, I have a line of
code like this:
Integer foo = (Integer)getAttributes().get("foo");
While I should get an Integer with the value of 50, get() returns a
String with the value "50" resulting in a CCE.
My question, then, is this: is my expectation in the code above
reasonable? That is, should we be seeing type coercion here and I've
just hit a bug? If the answer is yes, I can file an issue and try to
track down a fix for it. If not, I guess I'll have to do a bit more
work in the Java code that deals with the attribute map.
