<rich:validator /> always triggers all the <rich:message>'s within <rich:dataTable> - bug?

[pablo53]

Hi,

I have just notices some surprising behaviour of the <rich:dataTable> dynamic content. Whenever error occurs in one cell all the error messages from other cells are triggered as weel. For example - lets say we have the following fragment:

<rich:dataTable value="#{someBean.someModel}" var="dataRow">

  <rich:dataColumn>

    <h:inputTextarea id="col1TextArea">

      <f:validateRequired />

      <rich:validator />

    </h:inputTextarea>

    <rich:message for="col1TextArea" />

  </rich:dataColumn>

  <rich:dataColumn>

    <h:inputTextarea id="col2TextArea">

      <f:validateRequired />

      <rich:validator />

    </h:inputTextarea>

    <rich:message for="col2TextArea" />

  </rich:dataColumn>

</rich:dataTable>

Now, let's assume that someBean.someModel return 2 rows with non empty text area fields. Then, if user clears - let's say - text area in the first column of the first row, exactly ONE message should appear (of 4 existing - 2 for each column in the 2 rows). At least, this is what we would expect... The truth is that, although there is only one validation broken, ALL the 4 messages appears.

I haven't noticed such behaviour outside <rich:dataTable> tag. This seems to work as expected - the only validation triggering messages are those that are broken. Is this a bug or intentional?

Best Regards!

h,.. could you re-check using final version? I used the same code and getting only one message.

Sorry for such a late reply. I had no idea what was going wrong until now. I am pretty sure, that the cause was due to setting javax.faces.SEPARATOR_CHAR to underscore ("_"), instead of default colon (":"). When I reset it to colon, it started to work correctly.

So... anybody be careful about it!

P.S. RF 4.0.0.Final does not resolve the issue.
