f:ajax silently ignores input fields with html5 input types which are text

[ren-zhijun-oracle]

The following input types are submitted as text

date

datetime-local
email
month

range
search
tel
time
url
week
color

I'll try and throw something together next week.

In the meantime the issue is here - https://github.com/jboss/mojarra/blob/svn/trunk/jsf-api/src/main/resources/jsf.js#L2381

The jsf.getViewState only adds inputs of certain types

text
password
hidden
textarea
select-one
select-multiple
checkbox
radio

All others are ignored.

There are two problems here:

1. The merge from

https://svn.java.net/svn/mojarra~svn/branches/SPEC_1111_PROTOTYPE_BRANCH

to the trunk, which partially implemented JAVASERVERFACES_SPEC_PUBLIC-1111, is missing the changes to jsf.js. This is handled by issue #2517.

2. Once #2517 is fixed, this issue, #2536, will cover the backporting of that change to the 2.1 code line.

As i turns out, it looks like HTMLUnit does not support HTML5, so I will have to come up with another test.
