/**
* UISelectMany is a
* {@link UIComponent} that represents the user's choice of a zero or
* more items from among a discrete set of available options. The user
* can modify the selected values. Optionally, the component can be
* preconfigured with zero or more currently selected items, by storing
* them as an array or
* Collection in the value property of
* the component.
*
* This component is generally rendered as a select box or a group of
* checkboxes.
*
* By default, the rendererType property must be set to
* "javax.faces.Listbox". This value can be changed by
* calling the setRendererType() method.
*
* The {@link javax.faces.render.Renderer} for this component must
* perform the following logic on getConvertedValue():
*
*
*
* Obtain the {@link javax.faces.convert.Converter} using the following algorithm:
*
*
*
* If the component has an attached {@link javax.faces.convert.Converter}, use it.
*
* If not, look for a {@link ValueExpression} for value
* (if any). The {@link ValueExpression} must point to something that
* is:
*
* An array of primitives (such as int[]).
* Look up the registered by-class {@link javax.faces.convert.Converter}
* for this primitive type.
An array of objects (such as Integer[] or
* String[]). Look up the registered by-class {@link
* javax.faces.convert.Converter} for the underlying element
* type.
A java.util.Collection.
* Do not convert the values.
*
* If for any reason a Converter cannot be found, assume
* the type to be a String array.
*
* Use the selected {@link javax.faces.convert.Converter} (if any) to
* convert each element in the values array from the request to the
* proper type, and store the result of
* each conversion in a data structure, called
* targetForConvertedValues for discussion. Create
* targetForConvertedValues using the following
* algorithm.
*
*
* If the component has a ValueExpression for
* value and the type of the expression is an array, let
* targetForConvertedValues be a new array of the expected
* type.
If the component has a ValueExpression for
* value, let modelType be the type of the value
* expression. If modelType is a Collection, do
* the following to arrive at targetForConvertedValues:
*
* Ask the component for its attribute under the key
* "collectionType", without the quotes. If there is a
* value for that key, the value must be a String that is a fully
* qualified Java class name, or a Class object, or a
* ValueExpression that evaluates to a String or a
* Class. In all cases, the value serves to identify the
* concrete type of the class that implements Collection.
* For discussion, this is called collectionType. Let
* targetForConvertedValues be a new instance of
* Collection implemented by the concrete class specified
* in collectionType. If, collectionType can not be
* discovered, or an instance of Collection implemented by
* the concrete class specified in collectionType cannot be
* created, throw a {@link javax.faces.FacesException} with a correctly
* localized error message. Note that FacesException is
* thrown instead of ConverterException because this case
* would only arise from developer error, rather than end-user
* error.
If there is no "collectionType" attribute, call
* getValue() on the component. The result will implement
* Collection. If the result also implements
* Cloneable, let targetForConvertedValues be the
* result of calling its clone() method, then calling
* clear() on the cloned Collection. If
* unable to clone the value for any reason, log a message and proceed
* to the next step.
If modelType is a concrete class, let
* targetForConvertedValues be a new instance of that class.
* Otherwise, the concrete type for targetForConvertedValues is
* taken from the following table. All classes are in the
* java.util package. All collections must be created with
* an initial capacity equal to the length of the values array from the
* request.
*
*
* If modelType is an instance of
* then targetForConvertedValues must be an instance
* of
*
*
* SortedSetTreeSet
*
* QueueLinkedList
*
* SetHashSet
*
* anything else
* ArrayList
*
*
* If the component does not have a ValueExpression
* for value, let targetForConvertedValues be an
* array of type Object.
*
*
* Return targetForConvertedValues after populating it with
* the converted values.
