Upgrading from MyFaces 1.1.5 to JSF 1.2 RI

Hi,

When upgrading the example project I encountered 7 issues:

- Using the same tag attribute for a JSF tag twice was silently
ignored with 1.1.5 and now throws an exception with 1.2
- Using less columnClasses than columns in a panelGrid rendered the
remaining columns without CSS class with 1.1.5 and now repeats the
columnClasses for the remaining columns with 1.2
- MyFaces 1.1.5 rendered either a name or and id attribute for each
tag, so scripts could always identify them. 1.2 RI renders
commandLinks with neither name nor id, imposing minor scripting
changes.
- MyFaces 1.1.5 updated the model with null, when a radio button not
clicked and the bean property is a String, the 1.2 RI updates with
"".
- 1.2 RI writes an exception stacktrace to the log when a phase
listener throws a bug. MyFaces 1.1.5 was silently ignoring them.
- When a bean implemented Map and a bean property was set through DI
in faces-config, MyFaces 1.1.5 called Map.put(). 1.2 RI doesn't, so
implementing a separate setter for upgrading was necessary.
- When a property of a bean in session scope is set through DI (faces-
config) and the property is a bean in request scope this would
silently upgrade the ssecond beans life to session scope. MyFaces
1.1.5 would ignore this while 1.2 RI throws an exception.

Greetz,
