Description Mathias Broekelmann 2007-04-10 03:03:51 UTC

According to the spec the iterator which is returned by
javax.el.CompositeELResolver#getFeatureDescriptor() must skip any null
FeatureDescriptor of a containing el resolver.

Currently any feature descriptor value is returned whether it is null or not.

I have a working testcase (including a fix) in myfaces 1.2
