I am using f:converter with an inputText component. I am getting the following error
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: argument type mismatch
Here is the code for the inputText.
<h:inputText value="#{item.unitPrice}" size="10">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="2" minFractionDigits="2"/>
</h:inputText>
What is wrong with the code.
I did the same with the myFaces implementation. The type would change depending upon what was typed in. I saw a long with a integer and a Float or Double (can抰 remember) with a non integer. To get around this, I declared it as a Number. A coworker is using the Sun RI and has no problem with a declaring it as a Double.
I tried with Double but the problem remains. Here is the code
<h:inputText value="#{item.discount}" size="10">
<f:convertNumber maxFractionDigits="2" minFractionDigits="2"
type="number"/>
</h:inputText>
the bean getter and setter
public Double getDiscount(){
return discount;
}
public void setDiscount(Double discount){
this.discount = discount;
}
Looking to the variabele name of the valuebinding: "item", I am guessing that this inputText component is been put in an iterated list like a dataTable. If this is right; does it work anyway if you put it in a dummy test component outside the datatable? If it works, then you might review and redesign your data loading logic.
This all just works here:
JSF<h:inputText value="#{myBean.bigDecimal}">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2" maxFractionDigits="2" />
</h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{myBean.number}">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2" maxFractionDigits="2" />
</h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{myBean.double1}">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2" maxFractionDigits="2" />
</h:inputText>
<h:inputText value="#{myBean.double2}">
<f:convertNumber minFractionDigits="2" maxFractionDigits="2" />
</h:inputText>
MyBeanprivate BigDecimal bigDecimal;
private Number number;
private Double double1;
private double double2;
Again: the data loading logic of the values might be wrong. For example, the value may be null while the converter is invoked in the 3rd JSF phase.
