HTML and CSS Reference
In-Depth Information
Instead of using the
@FacesValidator
annotation, you can declare the validator in the JSF
faces-config.xml
file
as follows:
<faces-config ...>
...
<validator>
<validator-id>com.jsfprohtml5.EmailValidator</validator-id>
<validator-class>com.jsfprohtml5.example.validators.EmailValidator</validator-class>
</validator>
...
</faces-config>
Now, let's see how to use the
EmailValidator
in the JSF application. Listing 3-13 shows an updated version of
TestBean
managed bean (shown originally in Listing 3-8) which includes an
email
attribute of type (
String
).
Listing 3-13.
Updated Version of TestBean Managed Bean
public class TestBean implements Serializable {
// ...
private String email;
// ...
public String getEmail() {
return email;
}
public void setEmail(String email) {
this.email = email;
}
// ...
}
Listing 3-14 shows the
EmailValidator
validator XHTML test page.
Listing 3-14.
