Hi All, I released today the Reference Resolver add-on for ExtVal. It allows you to create your own Reference Resolver for the Cross field Validation feature of ExtVal. You can read all the details of the announcement here (1)
By using the Apache JEXL engine, I was able to create something that I called the Dynamic References. It allows you to define the final EL expression based on the information entered in the screen. The annotation looks like this @Equals(value = "#{'nestedBackingBean.'+${nestedBackingBean.targetDefinition}}") You can find the explanation in the maven generated site (2) and as test [org.os890.extval.addon.NestedAddonTest] in the integration test project of the code (3) I you have any question, feel free to ask me. Have fun with it Best Regards Rudy (1) = http://jsfcorner.blogspot.com/2011/10/announce-reference-resolver-add-on-for.html (2) = http://home.base.be/vt692569/reference_resolver/ELReference.html (3) = https://bitbucket.org/os890/extval-addons (directory property_validation_module/reference_resolver) -- Rudy De Busscher http://www.c4j.be
