             Summary: Rich select : cutomize the css on error by a filter - rendered implementation
                 Key: RF-11972
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-11972
             Project: RichFaces
          Issue Type: Bug
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
    Affects Versions: 4.1.0.CR2
         Environment: Firefox 10 - Jsf 2.1.4 - cssparser-0.9.6 - guava-11.0.1 - sac-1.3 - Spring Core -3.0.6 - Windows 7 - WAS 8.0.0.1 - RAD 8.0.0.4 - hibernate-validator-4.2.0
            Reporter: Jean ANDRE


The way how the rich:select is rendered in HTML breaks the consistency with the JSF component h:selectXXX - It requires to know the detail implementation or it is impossible to achieve the goal.

What we want to achieve is to highlight in red the border of the combo/list box when some validation rules failed.

The problem is that the red border is not "close" to the component as a calendar is or as a h:select is. More over, it is impossible to retrieve the inner elements through the view root (UIViewRoot) or it force us to know the detail implementation of the rich:select to be able to achieve our goal.

Actually, the implementation of rich:select is pretty complex - The problem comes from the first div - should be a span as rich:calendar ?

After several years, I'm still surprising that there is no easy way to achieve the customization of a component based on error - Having a such attribute as "errorClass" will help or having a uniform way to indicate us when a component is in error or not. Can we expose the isValid (http://docs.oracle.com/javaee/6/api/javax/faces/component/UIInput.html) flag ?
