I cannot get validation messages to work properly for fields inside a data
table.
The following scenario works:
-----------------------------
<h:form id="testForm">
<t:messages/>
<h:outputLabel for="testField" value="Test label"/>
<h:inputText required="true" id="testField"/>
</h:form>
If I submit an empty value here, then I get the error message I expected:
"Validation Error in Test label".
The HTML code for the outputLabel/inputText pair looks like this:
<label for="testForm:testField">Test label</label>
<input id="testForm:testField"
name="testForm:testField"
type="text" value=""/>
The following scenario does NOT work:
-------------------------------------
<h:form id="testForm">
<t:messages/>
<t:dataTable id="testTable">
<h:outputLabel for="testField" value="Test label"/>
<h:inputText required="true" id="testField"/>
</t:dataTable>
</h:form>
If I submit an empty value here, then I get this error message, where the
testField id is not expanded to the label value:
"Validation Error in testField".
The HTML code for the outputLabel/inputText pair now looks like this:
<label for="testForm:testTable_0:testField">Test label</label>
<input id=" testForm:testTable_0:testField"
name=" testForm:testTable_0:testField"
type="text" value=""/>
Am I doing anything wrong here, or is this a bug?
