Overriding MultiValueEditor Breaks edit-node-categories.jsp

I copied org/alfresco/web/ui/repo/component/UIMultiValueEditor.java to com/nkics/alfrescox/web/ui/repo/component/UIMultiValueEditorEx.java and modified the broadcast() method to handle Collections differently.Then I added it to my faces-config-custom.xml <component> <component-type&g

Can you post the code of your Java class ?

I figured it out!

It was not rendering because BaseMultiValueRenderer.encodeBegin(â€¦) does nothing if the component is not an instance of UIMultiValueEditor. encodeEnd() does the same. This is why I didn't see an error message, and nothing was displayed in the browser.

I ended up copying UIMultiValueEditor.java to UIMultiValueEditorEx.java.
I modified the class declaration so that UIMultiValueEditorEx extends UIMultiValueEditor, so that BaseMultiValueRenderer would render the component.
I modified UIMultiValueEditorEx.broadcast(…) to handle Collections, and that was it!

I will document my change to the Category Selector in this thread: http://forums.alfresco.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=12018
