greetings!
i'm developing an app which uses facelets templates in a similar fashion like in seam examples.
this is edit.xhtml
<div class="prop">
<s:label styleClass="name #{invalid?'errors':''}">
<ui:insert name="label"/>
<s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}"></s:span>
</s:label>
<s:span styleClass="value #{invalid?'errors':''}">
<s:validateAll>
<ui:insert/>
</s:validateAll>
</s:span>
<s:span styleClass="error">
<h:graphicImage value="/img/error.png" rendered="#{invalid}" styleClass="errors"/>
<s:message styleClass="errors"/>
</s:span>
</div>and this is my point of interest
<s:decorate id="d1" template="layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">
...
<ui:define/>
<h:outputFormat id="o1" ... />
</s:decorate>
now, when user hits submit first i want to check the validity of some data and throw a message if something is wrong. so let's say the submit button calls for a method:
public String validateAndSave() {
if(somethingIsWrong) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage("i won't let you do this");
context.addMessage("frmMain:d1:o1", message);
return null;
}
else
//do the job
}this won't work. now my question is: how do i target s:message? also, one detail from edit.xhtml: what is #{invalid}? it only looks like a seam component, but there's no way to access it from the beans. how can i manually turn it on?
thanks a lot, veljko
