[jboss-user] [JBoss Seam] - Re: <s:validate/>, <s:decorate> and Trinidad

[lowecg2004]

Hi Pete,

Cheers for the tip.  I'd seen that but my components are in simple="true" mode so I lose this sort of behaviour.  I can't really change this either since:

1. simple="false" causes most components to use tables for their layout and this has implications for accessibility/screen readers etc. therefore I am avoiding it like the plague;

2. my screen design is sensitive to changes in the size of the fields - my fields are constrained to a relatively small space, so any expansion of my fields' real estate due to error messages will cause problems with layout;

3. Yes, I would need to customise the l&f.  A custom skin would probably allow this, but the <s:decorate> offers the ideal solution in that I can report errors globally and then use simple field highlighting (say, change border colour or add a small icon) to draw attention to the offending field.


Are you familiar with the <s:validateAll> <s:decorate> UI tag code?  I might look to creating a patch to handle Trinidad components - I wonder if making this modification is simple or potentially opening a huge can of worms?

Cheers,

Chris.
