In a tag.tld file I have a tag definition with an attribute described as:
<attribute><description>The NameAjax bean that drives the component</description><name>nameAjax</name><required>true</required><deferred-method><method-signature>genomix.tractor.backing.NameAjax method()</method-signature></deferred-method></attribute>
genomix.tractor.backing.NameAjax is an interface that a number of managed beans have methods that return an implementation of.
The problem is when I try to use this tag, for the 'nameAjax' attribute, IDEA does not think that an argumentless method that returns an implementation of 'genomix.tractor.backing.NameAjax' is a candidate method, so it does not give me name completion on something like "#{myBean.species^}", where 'myBean' does in fact have a method that returns an implementation of the required interface. If the method name is typed in, it then gets flagged as an error.
The correct behaviour is to suggest and allow all methods that are useable based on the usual rules of compatibility.

Bug
Open
method-signature in a JSF tag library TLD should be interpreted as liberally as the JVM would treat it at run time.
