Provide mapping for field to UI name in @Validate annotation
------------------------------------------------------------
Key: STS-242
URL: http://mc4j.org/jira/browse/STS-242
Project: Stripes
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Validation
Affects Versions: Release 1.3.2
Reporter: Howard Rafal
Assigned To: Tim Fennell
I have the following nested property validation:
@ValidateNestedProperties ({
@Validate(field="name", required=true),
@Validate(field="description", required=true),
@Validate(field="phenoDataType.dataTypeId", required=true),
@Validate(field="phenoUsageType", required=true)
})
private PhenoAttributeType selectedTrait;
This results in:
Please fix the following errors:
Selected Trait Description is a required field
Selected Trait Name is a required field
Selected Trait Pheno Data Type Data Type Id is a required field
I can map the fields in the resource file (thanks Tim), but that is limited if
two different pages call the same attribute two different things. Also, the
Validate annotation is where things are described, so it would be nice to be
able to give a replacement string or a localized string right there.
I envision this looking like:
@ValidateNestedProperties ({
@Validate(field="name", required=true, alias="Name"),
@Validate(field="description", required=true, alias="Description"),
@Validate(field="phenoDataType.dataTypeId", required=true, alias="Data
Type"),
@Validate(field="phenoUsageType", required=true, alias="Used For")
})
private PhenoAttributeType selectedTrait;
This would result in:
Please fix the following errors:
Description is a required field
Name is a required field
Data Type Id is a required field
This matches my labels on the page. Another alternative would be to match the
name to the label for this attribute on the page. The nice thing there is that
any changes to the label would automatically be propagated to the error message
without having to change the annotation.
