DataSourceField.getCanFilter()

[stonebranch2]

In the case where the "canFilter" attribute is not set in the ds.xml for a particular datasource field, we were expecting the DataSourceField.getCanFilter() to return NULL. However, "DataSourceField.getCanFilter()" returns "getAttributeAsBoolean("canFilter")", which is converting the NULL to Boolean.FALSE, and incorrectly reporting that the field cannot be filtered.

Of course, we can deal with this by using the following code, however, we think there is a problem here.

            Object canFilterObj = field.getAttributeAsObject("canFilter");
            Boolean canFilter = (canFilterObj == null) || ((canFilterObj instanceof Boolean) && ((Boolean) canFilterObj).booleanValue());

We're looking into a solution.

A fix has been applied to SGWT 4.1p/5.0d to avoid converting the null. Check the next nightly builds.
