Description

I have simple JSP snip:

*<h:outputText id="cll1" value="#

{customerDetailsBean}

" />*<br/>
*<h:outputText id="cll2" value="#

{customerDetailsBean.customer}

" />*<br/>
*${customerDetailsBean}*<br/>
*${customerDetailsBean.customer}*<br/>

it renders to:
*com.mycomp.viewbeans.cust.CustomerDetailsBean@15c50e9*
*com.mycomp.data.customer.Customer@149e361*
*com.mycomp.viewbeans.cust.CustomerDetailsBean@15c50e9*
**
How it may be? I would expect:
*com.mycomp.viewbeans.cust.CustomerDetailsBean@15c50e9*
*com.mycomp.data.customer.Customer@149e361*
*com.mycomp.viewbeans.cust.CustomerDetailsBean@15c50e9*
*com.mycomp.data.customer.Customer@149e361*

The only special about my code is that I use Spring 2 and have
<variable-resolver>org.springframework.web.jsf.DelegatingVariableResolver</variable-resolver>

but this customerDetailsBean is defined in faces-config.xml and in session scope:
<managed-bean>
<description>Backing bean for customer_details.jsp</description>
<managed-bean-name>customerDetailsBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>com.mycomp.viewbeans.cust.CustomerDetailsBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
<managed-property>
<property-name>customerManager</property-name>
<value>#

{customerManager}

</value>
</managed-property>
<managed-property>
<property-name>specialsManager</property-name>
<value>#

{specialsManager}

</value>
</managed-property>
</managed-bean>

again bug in Tomcat EL engine, like https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1656 ?

actually I found this bug because <c:when test='${customerDetailsBean.customer != null}'> is not fired
