FacesException: Named object not found
I'm trying to fix an error that keeps popping up with my Seam apps. The apps try to reference a non-Seam class file that contains this:
package forms.session;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;
import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;
import javax.faces.validator.Validator;
import javax.faces.validator.ValidatorException;
public class EmailValidator implements Validator{
public EmailValidator(){}
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object obj)
throws ValidatorException {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String enteredEmail = (String)obj;
//Set the email pattern string
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("^(?:[a-zA-Z0-9_'^&/+-])+(?:\\.(?:[a-zA-Z0-9_'^&/+-])+)*@(?:(?:\\[?(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?))\\.){3}(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\\]?)|(?:[a-zA-Z0-9-]+\\.)+(?:[a-zA-Z]){2,}\\.?)$"); //(".+@.+\\.[a-z]+");
//Match the given string with the pattern
Matcher m = p.matcher(enteredEmail);
//Check whether match is found
boolean matchFound = m.matches();
if (!matchFound) {
FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
message.setDetail("Email is not valid.");
message.setSummary("Email is not valid.");
message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
throw new ValidatorException(message);
}
}
}The faces-config.xml has the following:
<validator> <validator-id>EmailValidator</validator-id> <validator-class>forms.session.EmailValidator</validator-class> </validator>
The XHTML page has this:
<h:inputText id="txtRequestorEmail" value="#{employee.requestorEmail}"
required="true" requiredMessage="Requestors Email is required."
maxlength="50" >
<f:validator validatorId="EmailValidator"/>
</h:inputText>I've tried putting the class file for the EmailValidator into a JAR file and including in the project, but it makes no difference. It throws this exception:

What am I doing wrong? How do I tell Seam/JSF to see the non-Seam class?
