New display method for client validation error message
------------------------------------------------------
Key: SHALE-373
URL: http://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/SHALE-373
Project: Shale
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Validator
Reporter: Joost Schouten
Priority: Minor
Hi,
I would like to suggest to make an enhancement to the client side validation
process so that the client validation error message is displayed the same way
the client side validation messages are displayed. Personally I would prefer
making this the default behavour and eliminating the JavaScript alert().
Another option might be to change the value passed through to the client
attribute of the s:commonsValidator tag to multiple options like "alert" and
"message".
When message would be chosen, the JavaScript will populate the <div>
representing the h:message tag.
I think this will result in a more elegant notification to the enduser.
example:
--------------------------
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{contact.email}">
<s:commonsValidator type="required"
message="#{labels['err.requiredField']}" server="true" client="message"/>
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="email" styleClass="error"/>
--------------------------
We currently have a fairly elaborate system in place where empty JavaScript
Array's are generated for each validator type. Whenever a value needs to be
validated, the input object will be added to the specific validator Array. On
submit each array will be checked for their correct values , messages are
dysplayed acoringly and the request is stopped.
How do you think we should implement this feature, and what part of this
process belongs in Shale, and what part belongs in the commons validator. I
also posted this RFE in the validator issue tracker.
Thank you,
Joost
