custom status message

[roman.mandeleil1]

Hi ,

I got a very strange behavior with status message.
I am sending the status message by...

statusMessages.addToControl("userName", Severity.ERROR, 
                           "User with that name already exist");

and my view is like that:

        <seam:decorate id="userNameField" template="/decorate-template/form-field.xhtml">
          <ui:define name="label">User Name:</ui:define>
          <h:inputText id="userName" required="true" value="#{loginDataForm.username}"  maxlength="16">
            <a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="userNameField" ajaxSingle="true"/>
          </h:inputText>
        </seam:decorate>

The only messages I see is the messages sent by hibernate validators (NotEmpty, Length etc... ) but the messages I add in the custom was like first
code block doesn't shown.

Hi

possibly  I am missing something, but you should use the class FacesMessages which is a subclass of StatusMessages. Maybe you've made your own custom class an didn't conigure it correctly ?

• Tried it also, unfortunately I got the same behavior.

I see two more symptoms:

1) If I add the rich:message element for the input also, it goes like that:
when hibernate validation fails I see two messages, but if the custom validation
fails I see only one message.

2)The custom validation doesn't activates the field decorator, the field and the label
text stay black.

have you tried a simple add of fecaesMessages  and does that work?

Yes

Roman,

send some additional code, because we need to see how you custom validator is made, configured and used.

Leo,

I am using very straight forward code, an EAR file that contains a WAR and an EJB jar.
I have the the JSF that tries to submit a new user:

part of register.xhtml:

<seam:decorate id="userNameField" template="/decorate-template/form-field.xhtml">
          <ui:define name="label">User Name:</ui:define>
          <h:inputText id="userName" required="true" value="#{loginDataForm.username}"  maxlength="16">
            <a4j:support event="onblur" reRender="userNameField" ajaxSingle="true"/>
          </h:inputText>
        </seam:decorate>

form-field.xhtml:

<ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
     xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets"
     xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
     xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
     xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib">

     <div>
     
          <s:label styleClass="name #{invalid?'errors':''}">
               <s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span>
               <ui:insert name="label" />
          </s:label> 
          
          <span class="value #{invalid?'errors':''}">
          
               <s:validateAll>
                    
                         <ui:insert />
               </s:validateAll>
     
          </span> 
          
          <span class="error">
               <h:graphicImage value="/img/error.gif"
               rendered="#{invalid}" styleClass="errors" />
     
               <s:message id="message"     styleClass="errors" />
          </span>
     </div>
</ui:composition>

part of RegistrationManagerImpl SLSB:

          try {
               entityManager.createQuery(
                         "select u from User u where " + "u.username='" + loginDataForm.getUsername() + "'")
                         .getSingleResult();

               statusMessages.addToControl("userName", Severity.ERROR, "User with that name already exist");
               return;

          } catch (NoResultException e) {
               // The user can be registered
          }

form that gets the data from the JSF and injects into the SLSB:

@Name("loginDataForm")
public class LoginDataForm {
     
    @NotEmpty
    @Length(min=3,max=16)
     private String username;

    @NotEmpty
    @Length(min=3,max=10)
    private String password;
     
    private String passwordConfirm;
     
     public String getUsername() {
          return username;
     }
     public void setUsername(String username) {
          this.username = username;
     }

     public String getPassword() {
          return password;
     }
     public void setPassword(String password) {
          this.password = password;
     }

     public String getPasswordConfirm() {
          return passwordConfirm;
     }
     public void setPasswordConfirm(String passwordConfirm) {
          this.passwordConfirm = passwordConfirm;
     }
     
     public boolean passwordConfirmed(){
          if (password == null) return false;
          if (passwordConfirm == null) return false;
          
          return this.password.equals(passwordConfirm);
     }
     
     
}

I am using Seam 2.1.2 and Rich Faces 3.3.2, I hope it is
clear enough, if not I'll try to work out a sample.

Thanks in advance.

It seems that it can't find the specific JSF-control to ad it to. Some possible hints:

- Look in the HTML-source code if the specific id exists,
- Try this out without the form-field.xhtml template,
- Create a separate fixed JSF-Control without any templates, and use the specific Id on it.

P.S. My weekend just started, so it can take some more time to reply.

Hi, I met the same problem. Has anyone found the cause of the problem? Thanks!
