UIInput value and submitted values

[Madhav Bhargava]

Hi All,   I am developing a custom validator. My validator is enclosed in one EditableValueHolder component and then tries to get the value from other EditableValueHolder component.   When I say – EditableValueHolder component = (EditableValueHolder)uiComponent; Component.getValue(); getValue() method returns me null even when the value is filled in and submitted. When I check the whole component I found that submittedValue attribute has the correct value and the value attribute was null.     Could anyone explain me the following:   What is the purpose of submittedValue when value is there? Even if the user while including say a <t:inputText> component specifies a property value=”#{}” then also the value is null when it goes to the validator’s validate method but the submittedValue is correctly populated?   Thanks, madhav **************** CAUTION - Disclaimer ***************** This e-mail contains PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION intended solely for the use of the addressee(s).
