I'm currently in project to create dynamic form, using Primefaces 8.0 and Primefaces Extension 8.0. I want to make length validation in user input for phone number with minimum and maximum length using f:validateLength, but somehow the validation always fails said the length is greater than allowed even though i set the maximum to 10 and I just input 1 character. Here's my code
xhtml:
<h:form prependId="false">
<p:messages/>
<pe:dynaForm id="df"
value="#{testMBean.modelz}" var="data"
class="ui-fluid" style="width: 100%;" varContainerId="dfid">
<pe:dynaFormControl id="dfc-text" type="Text" style="white-space: normal;">
<p:panelGrid id="pg-txt" columns="3" layout="grid" class="no-padding no-border"
styleClass="ui-panelgrid-blank form-group"
columnClasses="ui-grid-col-4,ui-grid-col-8,ui-grid-col-2">
<p:outputLabel for="@next"
value="#{data.labelEn}"/>
<p:inputText id="txt" value="#{data.value}" required="false">
<f:validateLength for="@previous" minimum="#{data.minLength}" maximum="#{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:inputText>
<p:outputLabel value="#{data.minLength} - #{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:panelGrid>
</pe:dynaFormControl>
</pe:dynaForm>
<p:commandButton process="@form" update="@form"/>
</h:form>
TestMBean:
private DynaFormModel modelz;
modelz = new DynaFormModel();
DynaFormRow row = modelz.createRegularRow();
DynamicModel dm = new DynamicModel();
dm.setMinLength(0);
dm.setMaxLength(10);
dm.setLabelEn("Test");
row.addControl(dm, "Text");
dm = new DynamicModel();
dm.setMinLength(1);
dm.setMaxLength(20);
dm.setLabelEn("Test2");
row.addControl(dm, "Text");
DynamicModel:
@Getter
@Setter
@ToString
public class DynamicModel implements Serializable {
private String labelEn;
private Object value;
private Integer minLength;
private Integer maxLength;
}
It's said that the maximum allowed value is 0 but as you can see I display the value for minLength and maxLength and it shows that the minLength is 0 and maxLength is 10. So I check the source and got this:
Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone please point out where I did wrong. Thanks.
I solved the problem using custom validator that extends javax.faces.validator.LengthValidator
with f:attribute
tag to set the minimum and maximum value.
Create TextValidator
which extends javax.faces.validator.LengthValidator
to intercept the attributes:
public class TextValidator extends LengthValidator {
@Override
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value)
throws ValidatorException {
if (value != null && !value.toString().trim().isEmpty()) {
Object minimum = component.getAttributes().get("minimum");
Object maximum = component.getAttributes().get("maximum");
setMinimum(minimum != null ? Integer.valueOf(minimum.toString()) : 0);
setMaximum(maximum != null ? Integer.valueOf(maximum.toString()) : 0);
}
super.validate(context, component, value);
}
}
TestMBean:
TextValidator textValidator = new TextValidator();
modelz = new DynaFormModel();
DynaFormRow row = modelz.createRegularRow();
DynamicModel dm = new DynamicModel();
dm.setMinLength(0);
dm.setMaxLength(10);
dm.setLabelEn("Test");
row.addControl(dm, "Text");
dm = new DynamicModel();
dm.setMinLength(2);
dm.setMaxLength(20);
dm.setLabelEn("Test2");
row.addControl(dm, "Text2");
Then bind textValidator
to f:validator
tag in xhtml:
<h:form prependId="false">
<p:messages/>
<pe:dynaForm id="df"
value="#{testMBean.modelz}" var="data"
class="ui-fluid" style="width: 100%;" varContainerId="dfid">
<pe:dynaFormControl id="dfc-text" type="Text" style="white-space: normal;">
<p:panelGrid id="pg-txt" columns="3" layout="grid" class="no-padding no-border"
styleClass="ui-panelgrid-blank form-group"
columnClasses="ui-grid-col-4,ui-grid-col-8,ui-grid-col-2">
<p:outputLabel for="@next"
value="#{data.labelEn}"/>
<p:inputText id="txt" value="#{data.value}" required="false">
<f:validator binding="#{testMBean.textValidator}"/>
<f:attribute name="minimum" value="#{data.minLength}"/>
<f:attribute name="maximum" value="#{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:inputText>
<p:outputLabel value="#{data.minLength} - #{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:panelGrid>
</pe:dynaFormControl>
<pe:dynaFormControl id="dfc-text2" type="Text2" style="white-space: normal;">
<p:panelGrid id="pg-txt2" columns="3" layout="grid" class="no-padding no-border"
styleClass="ui-panelgrid-blank form-group"
columnClasses="ui-grid-col-4,ui-grid-col-8,ui-grid-col-2">
<p:outputLabel for="@next"
value="#{data.labelEn}"/>
<p:inputText id="txt2" value="#{data.value}" required="false">
<f:validator binding="#{testMBean.textValidator}"/>
<f:attribute name="minimum" value="#{data.minLength}"/>
<f:attribute name="maximum" value="#{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:inputText>
<p:outputLabel value="#{data.minLength} - #{data.maxLength}"/>
</p:panelGrid>
</pe:dynaFormControl>
</pe:dynaForm>
<p:commandButton process="@form" update="@form"/>
</h:form>
Here's the output if the validation fails:
