I have looked at the notes by Dmitry Kushner (
http://blogs.sun.com/dmitry/entry/few_details_of_dynamic_functionality) and got my
page correctly invoking the validator on a text field on change of that text field, via Ajax. The trouble I now face is that the
validator is a simple Woodstock LongRangeValidator, and I cannot find any way to override or customise the error message it
produces. Particularly, in my JSP I have:
<webuijsf:textField binding="#{AddDatasource.textField5}" columns="4" id="textField5" maxLength="8"
autoValidate="true"
notify="form1:alert1"
required="true"
style="position: absolute; left: 264px; top: 192px"
text="#{SessionBean1.currentDataSource.port}"
toolTip="#{resources['tooltip.datasources.port']}"
validatorExpression="#{AddDatasource.longRangeValidator1.validate}"/>
<webuijsf:alert id="alert1" visible="false"
summary="#{resources['tooltip.datasources.port.brief']}"
detail="#{resources['tooltip.datasources.port']}"
style="height: 118px; left: 672px; top: 168px; position: absolute; width: 238px"/>
however the specified summary and detail are ignored and not displayed, instead the spectacularly unfriendly message
"form1:textField5: Validation Error: Specified attribute is not between the expected values of 1,024 and 65,535." is displayed twice.
Dmitry's notes suggest that it is possible to display customised messages - has anyone done this, and can point to examples? Is it a
case that the only way to do it is to build your own validator, rather than using the provided LongRangeValidator?
