There are a couple issues here. The first issue is that the mapping logic is
only looking for a "validator" and not a "f:validator". This one is a bug.
Please log a JIRA ticket if you get a chance.
However, you will still need to define this validator as a clay XML component
definition because it is statefull and has attributes. The HTML mapping will
only push property values on to a "component" that has attributes defined in
the clay config. All other HTML attributes are treated as symbols.
Consider the following:
Clay XML Config:
<component jsfid="scn:regex" componentType="com.scn.Regex">
<attributes>
<set name="suppliedRegex" bindingType="Early" />
<set name="errorMessage" bindingType="Early"/>
</attributes>
</component>
HTML Template:
<div class="content"
xmlns:t="http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk";
xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html";
xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core";>
<h:inputText styleClass="x-large" size="20" maxlength="20"
value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
id="username"
validator="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
required="true" >
<f:validator jsfid="scn:regex" suppliedRegex="[A-Za-z0-9]*"
errorMessage="#{messages['customer.username_invalid_chars']}" />
</h:inputText>
</div>
-- or, if you are into verbose markup --
<div class="content"
xmlns:clay="http://shale.apache.org/xml/clay";>
<clay:element jsfid=":inputText>
<clay:attributes>
<clay:set name="styleClass" value="x-large"/>
<clay:set name="size" value="20" />
<clay:set name="maxlength" value="20"/>
<clay:set name="value" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/>
<clay:set name="id" value="username"/>
<clay:set name="validator" value="[EMAIL PROTECTED]" />
<clay:set name="required" value="true" />
</clay:attributes>
<clay:validator jsfid="scn:regex">
<clay:attributes>
<clay:set name="suppliedRegex" value="[A-Za-z0-9]*" />
<clay:set name="errorMessage"
value="#{messages['customer.username_invalid_chars']}" />
</clay:attributes>
</clay:validator>
</clay:element>
</div>
