What is the scope for your backing bean? It probably needs to be request otherwise it will only be craeted once. Also, how are you calling the method which creates the view components? If you call it in the constructor it will get built too early so you need to find some way to build the components on the page. With the panel grid I found that the best time to call is when the panel grid is requesting some other value such as the number of columns.
-----Original Message----- From: Andrew Robinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 9:30 AM To: MyFaces Discussion Subject: OT: jsf-comp OptionalValidation I was looking into the code of the optional validator, and was wondering if it would be much better placed in JDK 1.5. Instead of creating "optionalValidator" tags with embedded validator IDs, it could use JDK 1.5 proxy classes as Validator and StateHolder are interfaces. Then, the proxy could catch all ValidationExceptions from validators and do what it needs to do. The developer would not need to change their view code at all. With facelets it should be relatively easy to build a tag handler that would create the proxy from the real validator. Just an idea -Andrew
