Bad input type when calling processFieldValue for hiddens generated for checkboxes [SPR-11059]

[spring-projects-issues]

Daniel Fernández opened SPR-11059 and commented

When calling "processFieldValue" for the values of the hidden inputs created as a companion for checkboxes in CheckboxTag and CheckboxesTag, the input type being passed to the RequestDataValueProcessor is "checkbox", but it seems it should be "hidden".

See:
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/master/spring-webmvc/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/servlet/tags/form/CheckboxTag.java#L61
and
https://github.com/spring-projects/spring-framework/blob/master/spring-webmvc/src/main/java/org/springframework/web/servlet/tags/form/CheckboxesTag.java#L47

This is inconsistent with the hidden created at FormTag in order to keep a browser-incompatible method value:
