Re: Defining mask globally

[Sanjay Choudhary]

Hi Hermod,

I am using version 1.0.4 of shale-validator.

Is this the right approach to manage the regex for the mask?

I also double checked about typo error, that error was in email message but
not in the code.

Thanks

Another question: Which version is this of shale-validator? The
linenumbers
don't match up with the current.

Emne: Defining mask globally

hi

I wish to define the global regex for masks in a common file. For example
,
name field mask will be like ^[a-zA-Z]+$.

<h:inputText id="nameame" styleClass="inputText"
                    value="#{BrokerRepresentative.name}" size="20">
                    <val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Company Name"
server="true"
                        client="false">
                        <val:validatorVar name="mask" value="^[a-zA-Z]+$"
/>
                    </val:commonsValidator>
                </h:inputText>

I wish to replace this with something like

<f:loadBundle basename="globalmasks" val="globalmask"/>

<h:inputText id="nameame" styleClass="inputText"
                    value="#{BrokerRepresentative.name}" size="20">
                    <val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Company Name"
server="true"
                        client="false">
                        <val:validatorVar name="mask" value="#{
globalmask.name}" />
                    </val:commonsValidator>
                </h:inputText>

This will enable me to validate the name field in a uniform way through
out
my application. Also if any change is need in regex then it needs to
applied
in one place.  When I tried this solution  I got


java.lang.NullPointerException

Any help /commens/ pointers appreciated to resolve this problem.  I open
to
different solution too.
