Hi Hermod,
for the following
scenerio 1
<h:inputText id="companyName" styleClass="inputText"
value="#{BrokerRepresentative.companyName}" size="20">
<val:commonsValidator type="maxlength" arg="Company
Name"
maxlength="30" server="true" />
<val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Company Name"
server="true"
client="false" message="#{bu.ALPHAONLY}">
<val:validatorVar name="mask" value="^[a-zA-Z]+$" />
</val:commonsValidator>
</h:inputText>
if I input companyname = 123456 I see the message displayed that maps to
bu.ALPHAONLY but now when I change the above to
scenerio 2
<h:inputText id="companyName" styleClass="inputText"
value="#{BrokerRepresentative.companyName}" size="20">
<val:commonsValidator type="maxlength" arg="Company
Name"
maxlength="30" server="true" />
<val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Company Name"
server="true"
client="false" message="#{bu.ALPHAONLY}">
<val:validatorVar name="mask" value="#{bu.ALPHAONLY}"
/> ------------------> changed here
</val:commonsValidator>
</h:inputText>
I get the null pointer exception. On further looking at the code I found
that following method returns null
/**
* <p>Evaluate the <code>expression</code>. If it's a value reference,
* get the reference's value.
* Otherwise, return the <code>expression</code>.</p>
*
* @param expression The expression
*/
public Object eval(String expression) {
if (expression == null) {
return null;
}
if (isValueReference(expression)) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
Application app = context.getApplication();
return
app.createValueBinding(expression).getValue(context); --------------->
this returns null.
} else {
return expression;
}
}
Thing I don't understand is why will it return null in scenerio 2 whereas it
is successful in finding the same in scenerio 1.
Also I there anyother way /solution to use the global masks. FYI, I am now
using 1.1.0-SNAPSHOT version

Hi
Since I use Clay, I solve this with symbols. Clay really makes life simple
in these cases. Try using the validators "message" attribute along with
the
resourcebundle lookup.

Emne: Re: Defining mask globally
Hi Hermod,
I will try this. I have another question regards to the mask - Is it
possible to display different message for each mask validation? Is there
a
way I can pass the message to each of the mask validation?
For example - For this validation I may like to display "Only Alpha chars
are allowed"
<val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Company Name"
server="true"
client="false">
<val:validatorVar name="mask"
value="#'{bu.ALPHAONLY}'"
/>
</val:commonsValidator>
and for this validation I may want to display - "Only numbers are allowed"
<val:commonsValidator type="mask" arg="Salary"
server="true"
client="false">
<val:validatorVar name="mask"
value="#'{bu.INTONLY}'"
/>
</val:commonsValidator>
Thanks,
Sanjay
