Validation message not showing up

[hdu]

When I enter the password in the following code, the validation message appears:

          <s:decorate id="password" template="/layout/edit.xhtml">
               <ui:define name="label">Password</ui:define>
               <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
                    <h:inputSecret id="passwordValue" value="#{passwordBean.newPassword}" 
                         valueChangeListener="#{passwordBean.validate}">
                         <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="password, passwordValue" ajaxSingle="true"/>
                     </h:inputSecret>
               </a4j:outputPanel>
          </s:decorate>

If I just add the testing input to the field in the following, the error style and image appear but not the validation message:

          <s:decorate id="password" template="/layout/edit.xhtml">
               <ui:define name="label">Password</ui:define>
               <h:inputText value="testing" />
               <a4j:outputPanel ajaxRendered="true">
                    <h:inputSecret id="passwordValue" value="#{passwordBean.newPassword}" 
                         valueChangeListener="#{passwordBean.validate}">
                         <a4j:support event="onkeyup" reRender="password, passwordValue" ajaxSingle="true"/>
                     </h:inputSecret>
               </a4j:outputPanel>
          </s:decorate>

The template edit.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 class="prop">

        <s:label styleClass="name #{invalid?'errors':''}">
            <ui:insert name="label"/>
            <s:span styleClass="required" rendered="#{required}">*</s:span>
        </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 styleClass="errors"/>
        </span>

    </div>

</ui:composition>

The page bean

@Name("passwordBean")
@Scope(ScopeType.CONVERSATION)
public class PasswordBean implements Serializable {

     private String newPassword;
     // plus getters and setters

     public void validate(ValueChangeEvent e) {
          FacesMessages.instance().addToControlFromResourceBundle("passwordValue", "Validation failed");
     }
}

It works fine with the one password input, but I need to include other input elements in the s:decorate field. Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks,

Hi,

The s:decorate is a small template for inputs with a label and validation. The template holds the label
(with the ui:define ) and the input. When you add the input test, everything shifts down and the input text takes the place of to-be-validated panel.

You can change the edit.xhtml template if you want to add the test, but I don't think that is what you want.

Thanks for the reply, Leo.

Do you mean that s:validateAll doesn't validate all the input components from the ui:insert? How could I change the template to fix this?
