Hi all,

I have an issue when attempt to verify the value of an inputText control (zoneBand in the example below) when a suggestionbox has populated the value I get a verification error. The code is shown below:

In my JSF page I have the following:

<h:panelGroup>
 <h:inputText id="zoneBand"
 binding="#{zoneBandPrefixHandler.userZoneBand}"
 validator="#{zoneBandHandler.validateExistingZoneBand}"
 size="15"
 required="true"
 style="spacing: 4px; spacing: 4px" />
 <rich:suggestionbox id="zoneBandSuggestBox"
 for="zoneBand"
 var="zb"
 suggestionAction="#{zoneBandHandler.autocomplete}"
 fetchValue="#{zb.description}"
 border="1" width="250" height="150"
 nothingLabel="Zone Band not found">
 <h:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{zb.description}" />
 </h:column>
 <rich:column>
 <h:outputText value="#{StaticData.lobMap[zb.lob]}" />
 </rich:column>
 </rich:suggestionbox>
 <h:message for="zoneBand" style="color: #f00; vertial-align: top;" />
</h:panelGroup>

The validator in zoneBandHandler is as follows:

class ZoneBandHandler {
 ...
 public void validateExistingZoneBand(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {

 ZoneBand existingZoneBand = daoFactory.getZoneBandDAO().selectByZoneBand(value.toString());
 if (existingZoneBand == null)
 throw new ValidatorException(new FacesMessage("Zone Band: " + value.toString() + " does not exist."));
 }
 ..
}

If I type "In" and "International"is shown in the Suggestion Box, I then select this (so it appears in the zoneBand textbox and then submit the form, the following error appears in my log file:

16-May-2008 12:57:48 com.sun.faces.lifecycle.RenderResponsePhase execute
INFO: WARNING: FacesMessage(s) have been enqueued, but may not have been displayed.
sourceId=zoneBandAllocationForm:zoneBand[severity=(INFO 0), summary=(Zone Band: In does not exist.), detail=(Zone Band: In does not exist.)]

Has anyone seen this before and do you know how to stop it happening?

Many Thanks

Andy
