Description

The tag descriptor generated by the maven plugin for HtmlSelectBooleanCheckboxTag has the following attribute:
<attribute>
<description><![CDATA[The initial value of this component.]]></description>
<name>value</name>
<deferred-value></deferred-value>
</attribute>

So when a JSP contains a tag like this:
<h:selectBooleanCheckbox id="foo1" value="true"/>

The following unhandled exception is thrown:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Expected submitted value of type Boolean for Component :

{Component-Path : [Class: javax.faces.component.UIViewRoot,ViewId: /mytest.jsp][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlForm,Id: form][Class: javax.faces.component.html.HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox,Id: foo1]}

This exception is thrown because RendererUtils.getBooleanValue() expects HtmlSelectBooleanCheckbox.getValue() to return a Boolean but instead it returns an Object. Changing the type for the "value" attribute in h.tld as shown below avoids the exception and passes the currently failing TCK test for that component:
<attribute>
<description><![CDATA[The initial value of this component.]]></description>
<name>value</name>
<deferred-value>
<type>boolean</type>
</deferred-value>
</attribute>
