I found a solution. :)
RequiredTextField start = new RequiredTextField("startPage",
Integer.class);
add(start);
RequiredTextField end = new RequiredTextField("endPage",
Integer.class);
MinimumValidator miniVal = new MinimumValidator (start);
end.add(miniVal);
add(end);
I created a small Validator that is doing the comparison and is working
very nicely:
public class MinimumValidator extends AbstractValidator {
private TextField field;
public MinimumValidator(TextField field){
this.field = field;
}
protected Map variablesMap(IValidatable validatable)
{
final Map map = super.variablesMap(validatable);
map.put("field", field);
return map;
}
@Override
protected void onValidate(IValidatable validatable) {
int end = (Integer)validatable.getValue();
int start = Integer.parseInt(field.getValue());
if (start>end){
error(validatable);
}
}
