Converter does not work for CheckboxRenderer

[ren-zhijun-oracle]

I tried to set an converter for selectBooleanCheckbox,
but it seems that this does not work or is not supported full.

The converter is called during RenderResponse, but not in ProcessValidation.
Searching the source code i detected: CheckboxRenderer.getConvertedValue

Think this method must check for existing Converter like the method of its
super class.

Environment

Operating System: All
Platform: All

Affected Versions

[1.2]

I believe this may be a bug in the spec.

The decode for the boolean checkbox states that if the value
is detected as checked, then the submitted value must be true,
otherwise false - no need for custom conversion.

Can you provide a use case?

Main objects of my model contain a HashMap with just String values.
So its possible to extend them individual for different applications.
All get stored automatically without any change of database or logic.

Only in the view every attribute must be rendered depending to its meaning.
Some converted from StringToInput, some StringToCheckbox, ...
This allows me to easily use an basic logic for several customers customized by
only changing the views.

Think its an special case and makes it not neccessary to include converter to
the CheckboxRender.
I could also build my own component for this which converts/renders
StringToCheckbox.
But then the converter attribute should be removed from TagHandler/TLD which
uses the CheckboxRenderer.

I think the Renderer behavior is correct, and CheckboxRenderer des the right
thing according to the described behavior. So we have a situation where we have
a converter tld attribute that doesn't get used (or does not apply).
I believe we need to figure a way to remove the converter attribute for the
checkbox tag.

I've opened a spec issue for this:

The spec will address the deprecation of the converter attribute on the checkbox
component. Marking this as WONTFIX.
