RFE: make HtmlInputHidden a ClientBehaviorHolder so that it can be used as the target for AJAX change events in composite components

[eclipse-faces-bot]

I created a JSF 2 composite component that is rendered almost entirely using JavaScript. When the user makes a selection, it sets the value of a hidden input field. I am able to use an HtmlInputHidden as the cc:valueHolder of my composite component and it works as designed.

When I try to add an AJAX change listener, I get the following error:

<cc:clientBehavior name="change" event="change" targets="#

{cc.clientId}

:selectedRoom"/>

"Unable to attach behavior to non-ClientBehaviorHolder parent:javax.faces.component.html.HtmlInputHidden@150ef67"

When I change the h:inputHidden to an h:inputText, then the AJAX functionality works as designed. Please update JSF so that an inputHidden can be used in this way as well.
