Form validation does not work with Seam and Hibernate
Hi all,
I have a web application which collects data from a webservice. I have a field which needs a minimum of 3 characters before it can make a call to the webservice.
So I thought why not make a validation for this in the form and make use of the Hibernate Annotations. Is this even possible when you do not use a database at all and only use it for form validation?
I use Seam 1.2.1GA with RichFaces and Hibernate Validator 3.0.0.GA.
I have this action:
@Name("zoekOpleidingAction")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class ZoekOpleidingAction implements Serializable {
private String zoekLettercombinatie;
@DataModel(scope = ScopeType.PAGE)
protected List<IOpleiding> lettercombinatieOpleidingen;
@NotNull
@Length(min=3, message="min 3")
public String getZoekLettercombinatie() {
return zoekLettercombinatie;
}
public void setZoekLettercombinatie(String zoekLettercombinatie) {
this.zoekLettercombinatie = zoekLettercombinatie;
}
@Size(min=1, max=10, message="#{['maxOpleidingenList.length']}")
public List<IOpleiding> getLettercombinatieOpleidingen() {
return lettercombinatieOpleidingen;
}my page looks like this:

</f:subview>the template I use to decorate the input field is this:

</ui:composition>so when I fill in just 2 characters I should expect a message but I don't see a message at all. Can someone help me with this?
