Trouble retrieving number value of a read-only inputText without number formatter

[dveerman]

The getValue() method returns 'null' on a selenium AdfInputText component for an af:inputText with read-only="true" on a number field without number formatter.

EDIT: Also happens with an AdfOutputText on a number field without number formatter.

Work-around 1: convertNumber (one without a pattern removing grouping seperators, that will make it null again)
Work-around 2: use getElement().getText()
Work-around 3: in case of aread-only inputText, use getSubmittedValue()
