Problem with inputNumberSlider and Convertor (maximum value

[pdepaepe]

I wish to allow users to set diskSpace of a compute with the inputNumberSlider.
Values displayed are in Gb, values stored are in bytes (so i use a convertor.

<rich:inputNumberSlider
 id="diskSpace"
 value="#{computeHome.instance.diskSpace}"
 width="300"
 maxValue="1000"
 showToolTip="false"
 converter="byteToGBconverter"/>

@Name("byteToGBconverter")
@BypassInterceptors
@Converter
public class ByteToGBconverter implements javax.faces.convert.Converter
{

 public Object getAsObject(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, String value) throws ConverterException
 {
 Long i = new Long(value);
 return new Long(i * 1073741824);
 }

 public String getAsString(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ConverterException
 {
 return new Long((Long) value / 1073741824).toString();
 }

}

But when i set any value, it returns:

17:45:09,596 INFO [lifecycle] WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.
sourceId=j_id52:diskSpace[severity=(ERROR 2), summary=(j_id52:diskSpace: input value is more than maximum value!), detail=(j_id52:diskSpace: input value is more than maximum value!)]

How disable the validator ?

Hello!

Disabling internal component validator could lead to security issues and isn't recommended. We'll see what we can do: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/RF-816

Hi!

Component validates the value you entered if it is in the range and since you set maxValues in GB (maxValues not converted in to the bytes), but values is in bytes (after conversion) the validation error is occurred, so maxValue and value should use the same measuring units (only in GB or only in bytes). There is no standard ways to disable validator in our component.
