Regarding <f:validateLength>
Hi,
I am using richfaces.I use <f:validateLength max=100> for <inputTextarea label="Address" > .After <inputTextarea> , i have one more field <h:inputText id="invoiceNo" label="invoice number" maxlength="30" value="#{invoiceNo.number}" style="width: 330px;" required="false"/>
If i enter more than 100 characters for address field , and enter value for number field, after clicking the confirm button , its showing erroe message for address field like this "Maximum number of characters allowed are 100", But at the same time ,the value entered in Number field is reset(value gone).For solving this i remove <f:validateLength> from jsp and i wrote validation action level.Its working fine.But i did not understand whats the problem with <f:validateLength>...anyone plaese tell me tha problem?
HERE IS THE CODE.
