com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.MenuRenderer createCollection: Unable to create new Collection instance for type java.util.Arrays$ArrayList

问题

I'm trying to use JSF / SelectManyCheckBox tag with an enum :

Here is my xhtml code :

            <h:form id="searchForm">
                <h:panelGrid columns="2">
                    <h:outputText value="Searched queues" />
                    <h:panelGroup>
                        <h:selectManyCheckbox layout="pageDirection" value="#{jmsErrorController.errorSearchCriteria.searchedQueues}" converter="queueConverter">
                            <f:selectItems value="#{jmsErrorController.completeQueueList}" />
                        </h:selectManyCheckbox>
                    </h:panelGroup>
                </h:panelGrid>
                <h:commandButton action="#{jmsErrorController.search}"
                    value="Search !" />
            </h:form>

I've add a converter as stated in an other post.

It seems to work fine but I see this stack trace on the console :

After this stacktrace, the application seems to work fine but I wonder why is there such a stacktrace..

Can someone help me?

Thanks.

回答1:

This will happen when the UISelectMany component's value being provided is created using Arrays#asList() method instead of new ArrayList().

If a model value is already prepopulated, JSF will try to use exactly the same type to put submitted values in and set the new model value. However, the java.util.Arrays$ArrayList type as returned by Arrays#asList() is internal to java.util.Arrays class and not individually instantiable as in new Arrays$ArrayList(). Hence this exception.

To fix this, make sure that the value is created using new ArrayList().

Alternatively, explicitly specify the collection type via collectionType attribute as instructed in this closely related answer: org.hibernate.LazyInitializationException at com.sun.faces.renderkit.html_basic.MenuRenderer.convertSelectManyValuesForModel.

<h:selectManyCheckbox ... collectionType="java.util.ArrayList">
