Yes you are right. The validator I am creating should work with any Calendar/Date component - for instance Tomahawk inputDate/calendar, jenia popup calendar.
I was initially thinking of making a validator which will not be enclosed in any EditableValueHolder component but will take as attributes id's of two EditableValueHolder components hosting two different dates. But then on reading the spec I realized that such a provision is not there. But I guess I will need to have an EditableValueHolder as a parent for a validator to work. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jeff Bischoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 8:10 PM > To: MyFaces Discussion > Subject: Re: custom validator exception > > Madhav Bhargava wrote: > > Documented usage of this component: > > > > <h:inputText id="equal2" > > value="#{validateForm.equal2}" > > required="true"> > > <t:validateEqual for="equal" /> > > </h:inputText> > > > > Why is the validator component enclosed in an inputText component? > > Since this validator is not going to validate the parent component > > anyways, > > It's not?
