SEAM event for "validation failed"

[captainvoid]

Hi,
in SEAM 2 one could observe an event org.jboss.seam.validationFailed in order to be notified when JSF validation failed.
Can somebody tell me if there's an equivalent in SEAM 3 ?
I'm trying to migrate my application to SEAM 3 and don't know how to handle this.
Thanks for any tip!

I don't remember off the top of my head if there is an event to listen to. If there is one, it'll be in the Faces module. If there isn't, would you please create a JIRA issue for this?

I tried to add an exceptionhandle to process the validation exception(added a global faces message), but it does not work as expected.

That's great Hantsy, a little more info please? The exception you're getting, handlers, etc. Maybe debug the Seam Faces module a little bit and give us some more info.

I use a exceptionhandle like this. I wanted to add a global message when validation was failed.

@HandlesExceptions
public class GeneralExceptionHandler {

     @Inject
     Messages messages;

     public void catchValidationException(
               @Handles CaughtException<ConstraintViolationException> event, Logger log) {
          log.info("Exception logged by seam-catch catcher: "
                    + event.getException().getMessage());
          messages.error(new DefaultBundleKey("validation_failed")).defaults(
                    "Validation failed");
     }

But it did not work.

Is a ConstraintViolationException not what's thrown? It seems odd that this wouldn't be caught. The only thing I could offer you is to debug into the exception handling classes of Seam Faces and see what's going on there.

I got a debug info in the console.

21:09:03,870 INFO  [org.jboss.seam.faces.exception.CatchExceptionHandlerFactory] (http--127.0.0.1-8080-8) Catch not available, Catch integration disabled

PS:I used Seam 3.1.0 Beta3 and Jboss 7.0.1Final.

Oops. Looks like we missed something when we moved Catch to Solder, sorry about that. We'll get that fixed for the next release.

[lightguard]

Hm, looks like it's there, what libraries do you have in your app?

[hantsy]

I replaced the catch with solder in pom.xml when upgraded to 3.1.0.Beta3
