Validation of s:fileUpload

[jbuechel]

I'd like to validate data of the s:fileUpload component.

Considering this topic i found this
post on the old forum. Reading the post and the issue details I don't quite understand if it's currently possible to validate such a field (and how) or not.

I'd expect something as the following:

<s:fileUpload data="#{fwcInputProperty}" fileName="#{fwcInputFileName}" contentType="#{fwcInputContentType}">
     <f:validator validatorId="catalogTemplateValidator" />
     <s:validate />
</s:fileUpload>

Is something like this possible?

Thanks for any information!

Try it.

:-) Of course i did try it before i wrote the post.
After your reply I tried it again though, unfortunately without success. The (reduced) code:

<s:validateAll>


     <s:decorate template="#{theme.inputTextHorizontal}">

          <ui:param name="fwcLabelMessageKey" value="catalogTemplate_label_name" />

          <ui:param name="fwcInputProperty" value="#{catalogTemplateSelection.name}" />

          <ui:param name="fwcInputRequired" value="true" />

          <ui:define name="fwcInputValidator">

               <f:validator validatorId="com.frox.aafn.action.validator.catalogTemplateValidator" />

               <s:validate />

          </ui:define>

     </s:decorate>

     

     <s:fileUpload data="#{catalogTemplateSelection.file}" fileName="#{catalogTemplateSelection.fileName}">

          <f:validator validatorId="catalogTemplateValidator" />

          <s:validate />

     </s:fileUpload>


</s:validateAll>


<h:commandButton value="#{messages['controls_save']}"

     action="#{catalogTemplateAction.persistCatalogTemplate}" />

The validate(FacesContext, UIComponent, Object) method is just not beeing called.

I'd be happy if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong?

I think it's related to this issue:

http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1981

[irace]

Are there any plans to make this work at some point ? As of now, it's impossible to use required or validator attributes
for the s:fileUpload tag. Does anybody use this component in a real life application, and was able to find a satisfying
workaround ?

I'm ok with the team rejecting the proposed patch, but imho, the issue is far from closed, even on the 2.2.1.CR2 version,
the one I use presently.

Thanks
