My registrationBean (extends AbstractViewController) has a "password"
attribute as well as a save() method which has this code:
if (passwords_dont_match) {
error(messages.getMessage("password.mismatch"));
etc.
}
My jsp has this code:
<h:message for="password" />
in the "<td>" right next to where the password field is.
However the error doesn't show up. (There is an empty <td> in the source
so I think the problem is not in my panelGrid..) Plus if I know the errors
are being caught since <f:facet name="header"><h:messages globalOnly=
"true" /></f:facet>
does show the error.
I looked at the docs and saw that maybe I should use the other error
method in org.apache.shale.view.AbstractViewBean:
protected void error(javax.faces.component.UIComponent component,
java.lang.String summary)
But I am not sure how I should get the UIComponent object to use. I tried
unsuccessfully to use:
error(
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getViewRoot().findComponent("password"),
messages.getMessage("password.mismatch"));
but the above component is null, sadly.. I would have thought that being
in the RegistartionBean would imply getting any UIComponent in
registration.jsp should be easy..? Is this the right approach? (Or I
should just go home...)
