Component/s: Layouts & Widgets
Most of standard widget types are using standard JSF components, that accept
standard validators. There are two ways to declare a validator on a JSF component:
- use the "validator" property to declare a method binding that will perform the
check and throw a ValidatorException error if validation fails. This is already
available. - add a tag inside the component to declare another validator. For instance:
<h:inputText value="# {field_0}">
<f:validateLongRange minimum="1"/>
</h:inputText>
The "f:validateLongRange" is a standard validator. The "f:validator" tag also makes
it possible to declare a validator by id.
Custom validators can also be added to the framework. For instance, ui-web defines
validators "nxu:validateFileSize" and "nxu:validateFileMimetype" that can be used
inside the "nxu:inputFile" tag.
As these tags all accept specific attributes, maybe a generic way to declare them on
the resulting component would be needed.
Another idea would consist in defining validation rules on the layout, so that condi-
tions can be easily expressed in a el-like language, with some variables exposed (to
define.
Syntax is still to discuss.
