A tabular form is validating a input field using a validator method binding plus a standard f:validateLength validator.
<rich:dataTable value="#{menuAdminController.selectedObject.attributes}" var="attribute" id="attributesTable">
<rich:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<h:outputText value="Login" />
</f:facet>
<h:inputText id="login" value="#{attribute.login}" required="false"
valueChangeListener="#{attribute.userValueChanged}" validator="#{attribute.validateUser}">
<f:validateLength maximum="5" />
<!-- TODO: validatorMessage does not get displayed here -->
</h:inputText>
<rich:message for="login" />
</rich:column>
</rich:dataTable>
<a4j:commandButton value="#{applicationResources['command.store']}" action="#{menuAdminController.storeAttributes}"
oncomplete="if (!hasFacesMessages) Richfaces.hideModalPanel('editPanel');" />After submitting the form (
an a4j:form inside an rich:modalPanel) only the message produced by f:validateXXX tag is shown but not the one created by the method validateUser.
The validateUser method gets called and throws a ValidatorException
public void validateUser(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException {
if (value == null || ((String) value).length() == 0) {
return;
}
try {
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessageSupport().newFacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR,
message));
} catch (DataAccessException e) {
throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessageSupport().newFacesMessage(e));
}
}The debugger shows that all validator messages are associated with the right component (i.e. all messages have the same clientId associated)
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getClientIdsWithMessages()
Hmm.. anybody with some idea
