Stefan Betermieux commented on MYFACES-1467: -------------------------------------------- Hi, I am coming from TOMAHAWK-850 where I have reported errors regarding displayValueOnly="true" and required="true" on tomahawk UIInput components. The current svn and the latest patch (patch2.txt) will not resolve these issues. I know that this should be handled as an issue in TOMAHAWK, but fixing the problem can only begin when UIInput settled. Stefan > Validation doesn't run for required fields if submitted value is null > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MYFACES-1467 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-1467 > Project: MyFaces Core > Issue Type: Bug > Components: General > Affects Versions: 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT, 1.2.0-SNAPSHOT > Reporter: David Chandler > Assigned To: Matthias Weßendorf > Fix For: 1.1.5-SNAPSHOT > > Attachments: patch.txt, patch2.txt > > > A component with a required value will not fail validation as expected if the > submitted value is null. This issue is not seen normally because browsers > send the value for an empty text field as an empty string. That is, the POST > data for an empty field1 will contain the field name but no value, like > field1=&field2=something. However, if you use a man-in-the-middle proxy such > as Paros to remove "fieldname=" from the POST data, the submitted value will > be null. UIInput.validate() skips validation for null submitted values, but > since requiredness is also part of validation, the requiredness check gets > skipped, too. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
