Hello everyone! I have a simple data table with one editable column, containing text fields that accept date values. The text field is naturally associated with a dateTime converter. I would like to display error messages outside the data table (preferably before the data table), however I cant figure out a way to add some text to messages that will associate them with a specific table row (i.e. how to get a message like Error in row 3: Value is not a date). Any ideas on how this can be done? (Hopefully not by implementing my own converters and validators!).
So far Ive tried one solution I found here http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/masterj2ee/j2ee_wk7.html?_template=/ocom/technology/content/print which uses a phase listener to look in component attributes for the text to be added to the components messages. This solution will not work though, if you want to add row-specific information to messages for data table text fields. I have also found a previous post (http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg10145.html) that lead to issue MYFACES-735 on the bug database (http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MYFACES-735), which seems to be the same case. The issue reporter suggests the t:messages component incorrectly assumes that the column header is the label for all input fields in the column. However, no one has commented on whether this is a bug or a feature (Frode Oldervoll if you are reading, and have found out a solution, please let me know!). Hopefully this isnt yet another faces dead end. Any help will be appreciated. Mario ___________________________________________________________ How much free photo storage do you get?
