Primefaces Ext 6.0-TriStateCheckbox bug

[florin.manea]

I have an application using TrisStateCheckbox in filtering lists (like All, Active. Inactive entries). It worked fine till version 6.0.
The backed bean initializes the value to "2" but starting with version 6.0 TriStateCheckbox looks like value="0" and acts accordingly in first post-back..
I think the problem is due to the fact now the base class is HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox while till checkin from 03/05/2016 19:01 (message #317) it was HtmlInputText.

Several facts:

-Method eval from javax.faces.componen.ComponentStateHelper now return string "false" while in previous version returned "2"

-The statment ValueExpression ve = component.getValueExpression(key.toString()); in the same method initializes a ValueExpression who's delegate expects now a return type of Boolean while previously it was expecting an Object

-valCheck = Integer.valueOf(ComponentUtils.getValueToRender(context, checkbox)); in encodeEnd method of org.primefaces.extensions.component.tristatecheckbox.TriStateCheckboxRenderer will throw an exception since "false" can not be converted to an Integer so that (in catch part) the return value is initialized to 0, were from it comes the described behavoiur

The bug is fixed (thanks to Thomas): https://github.com/primefaces-extension ... 73086f8d24

You can create TriStateCheckbox and Renderer in your project + register them in faces-config.xml. Sorry for inconvenience, we have merged a not well tested pull request from the community.

If we have another 2-3 changes / commits, we will release the 6.1.0 version. Currently there are only 2 changes after 6.0.0 release.
