APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Drop down boxes in a (JavaServer Faces) JSF form produces a
  duplicate class attribute in the generated HTML which then
  fails validation.
  
  The following is a JSF code sample to generate drop down
  select menu:
  
  <h:selectOneMenu id="menuTest" value="#{Test.menuValue}"
  styleClass="inputText">
   <f:selectItems value="#{TestList.items}" />
   </h:selectOneMenu>
  Here is the resulting HTML code that has the duplicate class
  attribute which fails XHTML validation:
  
  <select id="_id123:menuTest" name="_id123:menuTest"
   class="inputText" class="inputText" size="1">
   <option value="">Select an Item</option>
   </select>

  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A duplicate "class" attribute is        *
  *                      generated when using a JSF tag for a    *
  *                      drop down box with a "styleClass"       *

  ****************************************************************
  JSF generates two "class" attributes when generating the code
  for a JSF tag used to create a drop down box with a
  "styleClass" attribute.
  

Problem conclusion

• The JSF code was modified to remove the duplicate generation
  of the "class" attribute.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fixpack 6.1.0.21.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
