Re: Better object.toString() instead of cast (String)object

[Heath Borders]

This might be more of a shortcoming on the part of the spec rather than MyFaces.  String is used all over the spec, so I think that's all we really need to support.  I understand that CharSequence is more generic, but it seems like more of a spec issue.

Hi,

To get a string value from a valuebinding the getter methods of the
components always cast the object value to string (ex:
HtmlOutputLink.getTitle()).

A better way would be to test if the object is null and if it is not
null call object.toString() and return that value.

That would make it possible to use java.lang.CharSequence or any other
object instances to use as a value for the properties.
