Re: Adding commonsValidator to a clay component

[Daniel del Río]

Tanks Gary, excellent explanation.

I don't know if it is solved in the last version ... anyhow, in the 
shale-framework-1.0.3-snapshot there is a problem with the 
commons-validator-1.1.4 library. The shale CommonsValidator class try to 
invoke the ValidatorResources constructor with a String[] type that don't 
exists (line 507). I changed to an old commons-validator library and works 
fine.

Thanks.

Hello,
Someone knows if it is possible to add a commonsValidation component in a 
clay
component?

<component jsfid="mycomponent" extends="inputText">
       <element id="validator" renderId="1" jsfid="s:commonsValidator">
           <attributes>
               <set name="type" value="required"/>
               <set name="client" value="true"/>
           </attributes>
       </element>
   </component>


You will need to register a validator using the "validator" node.

<component jsfid="mycomponent" extends="inputText">
       <validator jsfid="s:commonsValidator">
           <attributes>
               <set name="type" value="required"/>
               <set name="client" value="true"/>
           </attributes>
       </validator>
</component>

If you want to use multiple commonsValidators on a single component, you
will need to use different jsfid's.  The jsfid is the "key" for the Set of 
validators.


Consider:

<component jsfid="mycomponent" extends="inputText">
       <validator jsfid="s:commonsValidatorRequired">
           <attributes>
               <set name="type" value="required"/>
               <set name="client" value="true"/>
           </attributes>
       </validator>
       <validator jsfid="s:commonsValidatorEmail">
           <attributes>
               <set name="type" value="email"/>
               <set name="client" value="true"/>
           </attributes>
       </validator>

</component>

There are default alias validators defined.  I  just realized that these 
don't implicitly define the types so you will have to provide the "type".

s:commonsValidatorRequired, s:commonsValidatorMaxlength, 
s:commonsValidatorMinlength, s:commonsValidatorMask, 
s:commonsValidatorByte, s:commonsValidatorShort, 
s:commonsValidatorInteger, s:commonsValidatorLong, 
s:commonsValidatorFloat, s:commonsValidatorDouble, s:commonsValidatorDate, 
s:commonsValidatorIntRange, s:commonsValidatorFloatRange, 
s:commonsValidatorDoubleRange, s:commonsValidatorCreditCard, 
s:commonsValidatorEmail, s:commonsValidatorUrl

Thanks in advance.
drh.
