Getting error: Expected Map, found VisualforceMap

Hello,

I am making a custom component. One of the attributes that I pass to this custom component is a map and use it inside repeat tags. However, I get an error such as this:

 

Error: Wrong type for attribute <c:testsubpageblock amap="{!amap}">. Expected Map, found VisualforceMap

 I read the Component Reference and it says that only one dimensional data structures are supported. May I know why there is such a restriction? Also, is there any workaround? Googling doesnt help a lot. It seems components arent much written about in tutorials and what not.

 

Thanks.

It appears there is currently a bug in the support of maps as attributes of components.  You might be able to work around it by wrapping your map in an Apex object....

So do I need to file a bug report somewhere? If yes, where? Do the SF devs lurk in these threads and notice these bugs? 

 

Thanks.

Yes, the SF devs are aware of what is reported here :-).   But it is always a good idea to open a support case when you encounter a bug.    Bugs with customer cases are likely to get fixed faster than ones that are internally reported.   (In this case, if you do open a support case, tell support to attach it to W-966249 )
