Hi,
I am using jsf api and impl 1.2._12.
I have the following facelet mark up:
<h:inputText id="testInput" value="#{testController.test}"
required="false">
<f:validator validatorId="stateValidator"/>
</h:inputText>
The "stateValidator" is configured as follows in faces-config
<validator>
<validator-id>stateValidator</validator-id>
<validator-class>adc.validators.MultiFieldLengthValidator</validator-
class>
</validator>
The validator is getting invoked with no issues when the value of
the field
is anything other than "". But when the value is "", the validator
does not
get invoked.
I am wondering if I am doing something wrong. Please advise on
potential
solutions.
Babu,
I'm no subject matter expert (and from your version number, I'm not
sure you're actually using "Geronimo"), but believe that you are
describing the expected behavior when "required="false". If required
is false, validators are not executed for a null or empty string.
