Validation fails in registration example

eekboom Dec 28, 2006 7:54 PM

Seam 1.1.0 GA
Built registration example with ant, deployed to JBoss AS 4.0.5.

When I leave the password field empty I get a message "Validation Error" as expected.
However if I enter one to four characters, I get a nasty exception:

I met this problem.Finally I find the length of "username" and "password" are not allowed less than 5.I input string which length is less than 5.Maybe this demo is not perfect,it throws exception for this validation.

I also got the same problem while deploying the registration example on Tomcat. On some inputs, it passes. On others, it will throw the exception like above.

Well, I am not able to reproduce this, so if you really think this problem exists, you guys are going to have to do some research and figure out the cause. It works perfectly for me.

Okay I saw this and filed a bug on this here....http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-627...this has to be a problem and not just me being crazy. Glad to see someone else saw this. I will look at this some more and try to reproduce. I think it has something to do with the downloaded release and maybe building the example for Tomcat although I am not sure. Maybe it is an odd dependency in the timestamps of the shipped/downloaded 1.1.0 GA release.

Strange. My colleague showed me the exact problem this afternoon on his computer when he tried to deploy the registration example on his instance of Tomcat. I can only recall now that the validation would fail on his environment.

I could not reproduce it on my machine, however.

Are you sure its not just because you forgot to do an "ant clean" in between "ant deploy" and "ant deploy.tomcat" and vice-versa?

I just came across something peculiar where I found the registration example in Seam 1.1.0GA does not include jboss-seam-ui.jar. Can someone confirm this? I'm just thinking that I missed a step somewhere.

I did an "ant" in seam root, then an "ant tomcat.deploy" in examples/registration. Got a ~16MB file that excludes jboss-seam-ui.jar. Got an exception when opening up the page stating the obvious:

java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/jboss/seam/ui/tag/ValidateAllTag at org.apache.jsp.register_jspx._jspx_meth_s_validateAll_0(register_jspx .java:158) at org.apache.jsp.register_jspx._jspx_meth_h_form_0(register_jspx.java:1 ..

Repeated instructions on a nightly jboss-seam-CVS.20070108. Got a ~18MB file that included jboss-seam-ui.jar (the extra 2MB was made up by the ui jar and itext). Example runs fine.

Okay, I think I reproduced it.

The exception that the OP posted occurs on Tomcat 5.5.17 with a Seam 1.1.0GA registration example. For some reason, this version of tomcat will allow me to load up the registration page, but if I enter inputs "abcd" for all three form fields, you will see the exception.

On Tomcat 5.5.20 as I stated in the post above, you will not even get that far. Not sure about JBoss. Hope this helps.

Im having the same issue with the same configuration:
Seam 1.1.0 GA
Built registration example with ant, deployed to JBoss AS 4.0.5.

"When I leave the password field empty I get a message "Validation Error" as expected."

This validation error comes from register.jspx. The input text boxes have the attribute required=true. If you remove it wou will have the same exception.

It seems that the restrictions on User.java, that is
@NotNull @Length(min=5, max=15)
are the root cause. As the length of the field is less than 5, an exception is being thrown and no being caught.
Hope this helps

Same problem here:
* jboss-4.0.5.GA-ejb3
* jboss-seam-1.1.0.GA
* built with ant deploy

when I enter less than 5 characters for password I get the exception:

...

This suggests that JSF validation didn't catch the problem and example code tried to persist invalid record. Hibernate didn't like this...

It is interesting that validation catches empty password as error.

What happens if you copy "jboss-seam-ui.jar" from Seam root to WEB-INF/lib of the registration web app?

tvrtko Jan 17, 2007 5:02 PM (in response to eekboom)

Again, I get the error.

Also, I tried changing Test case like this (I only shortened the password to three characters, and commented the following assert):

public class RegisterTest extends SeamTest
{

 @Test
 public void testLogin() throws Exception
 {

 new FacesRequest("/register.jspx") {

 @Override
 protected void processValidations() throws Exception
 {
 validateValue("#{user.username}", "1ovthafew");
 validateValue("#{user.name}", "Gavin King");
 validateValue("#{user.password}", "sec");
 //assert !isValidationFailure();
 }

If I run ant testexample, it fails with:

The offending line is:

ClassValidator validator = getValidator( model.getClass(), componentName );

so I guess that model is null.
