Validation annotation working on getter but not on property
jonathan.man Mar 11, 2012 2:44 PMHi everyone.
I'm experimenting with JSF2, and wanted to give a shot at validation by annotation.
I can make it work by annotatiing the getter, but not the property.
Examples on the net all works with property annotations.
I'm curious as to why I can't get it to work.
I'm using hibernate validator.
Here is my setup :
Eclipse Indigo 3.7.2
jdk1.7
My Pom :
<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

My Sample page :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core"
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html"
xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets">
<h:head />
<h:body>
<h:form>
<h:panelGrid columns="3">
<h:outputText value="Name :" />
<h:inputText id="inputName"
value="#{someBean.name}">
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="inputName" id="mess1" />
<h:outputText value="Surname" />
<h:inputText id="inputSurname"
required="true"
requiredMessage="Name mandatory" value="#{someBean.surname}"
validatorMessage="Invalid surname">
<f:validateLength minimum="5" maximum="10" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="inputSurname" id="mess2" />
<h:commandButton value="Do Something" actionListener="#{someBean.doSomething}" />
</h:panelGrid>
<h:messages id="allMess" />
</h:form>
</h:body>
</html>
And my sample bean :
package test.validation;
import javax.faces.bean.ManagedBean;
import javax.faces.bean.RequestScoped;
import javax.validation.constraints.NotNull;
import javax.validation.constraints.Size;
@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class SomeBean {
@NotNull(message="Name Mandatory")
@Size(min=5, max=10, message="Invalid name")
private String fName = null;
//@Size(min=5, max=10, message="Invalid surname")
private String fSurname = null;
public void doSomething() {
System.out.println("Doing something - this = " + this.toString());
System.out.println("Doing something - " + this.fName + "/" + this.fSurname);
}
public String getName() {
return this.fName;
}
public void setName(String pName) {
this.fName = pName;
}
public String getSurname() {
return this.fSurname;
}
public void setSurname(String pSurname) {
this.fSurname = pSurname;
}
}
Any idea?
