Custom Validator Troubles

[gesker]

Hello Group:

I seem to be having some trouble with custom validators in WildFly 9.0.0.CR2 and could really use a hint.

My custom validators don't seem to fire/trigger/display to p:messages (I am using PrimeFaces) unless one of the standard validators also fires.

For instance my validator is "structureTypeDuplicateName" and it's messages are displayed ONLY if "validateRequired" also is triggered/displayed.

I've tried two scenarios and I'm seeing pretty much the same different behavior:

Scenario 1:
Using @FacesValidator and a nested tag of <f:validator for="name" validatorId="structureTypeDuplicateName"/>

The forms (commandbutton) action does process "seemingly" ignoring my validation attempt.

However, I can see the validator getting called by just adding a bit of logging to the validator class

(Also, under this scenario my @EJB variable is null -- may be related)

Scenario 2:

Using @RequestScoped and @ManagedBean and a nested tag of <f:validator for="name" binding="#{structureTypeDuplicateName}"/>

Again, the form (commandbutton) action does process "seemingly" ignoring my validation.

And, I can still see the validator getting called via the logging to the validator class

(Under this scenario my @EJB variable works fine -- but here it is a @ManagedBean so, OK, I guess.)

I do use a -- ui:include -- tag to get my forms into my page but this doesn't seem to impact any other expected behavior in the form.

Just for the heck of it I also tried putting my custom validator info into faces-config.xml but still no luck.

Could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Dennis

My apologies for this post. Just tired eyes I think.

In my validator I was doing:

context.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(component.getClientId(), new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Submitted NAME is already in the system.", "Submitted NAME is already in the system."));

When I should have thrown a new ValidationException:

throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR, "Submitted NAME is already in the system.", "Submitted NAME is already in the system."));

I hope my post tie anyone up.

Thanks,

Dennis
