Description

In my XHTML-Facelets I use Passthrough-Elements whereever possible. Now I ran into a bug (IMHO) with the HTML-Class-Attribute:

<a jsf:outcome="other.xhtml" class="#

{bean.somebool?'active':''}

">Linktext</a>

gives

javax.el.ELException - Cannot convert active of type class java.lang.String to class java.lang.Class
at org.apache.el.lang.ELSupport.coerceToType(ELSupport.java:419)

Changing the attribute name to jsf:styleClass works.

Changing the content of class to some static string works.

Might be related to MYFACES-3874.
