Hi,
i have written a voi custum validation method which adds a facesMessage to the field on validation failure. however, the current field value is not submitted to the bean.
maybe this is because i have been using bypassUpdates\=true. since i am calling a validation method i don't want to update the model when the method is invoked. how can i solve this issue for a custom field validation?
view:
<s:decorate id="username" template="../layout/edit.xhtml">
<ui:define name="label">Username:</ui:define>
<h:inputText id="usernameInput" value="#{userList.selectedUser.username}" required="true">
<a:support
reRender="username"
bypassUpdates="true"
ajaxSingle="true"
event="onblur"
actionListener="#{userList.validateUsername()}">
<s:conversationId />
</a:support>
</h:inputText>
</s:decorate>
method:
public void validateUsername() {
log.info(selectedUser.getUsername());
if(userHome.byUserName(selectedUser.getUsername()) != null) {
facesMessages.addToControl("usernameInput", "User already exists");
}
}
sorry for not having used code formating - somehow the backticks did not work.
