Expose a simple message for consumption by metadata tools like JSF client validation? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: BVAL-34 URL: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/BVAL-34 Project: Bean Validation Issue Type: New Feature Components: spec-general Reporter: Emmanuel Bernard From Pete True client side validation (no ajax calls allowed). JSR303 will expose (extensible) metadata about the validations on properties. This metadata can be used to attach a client side validator. JSF should provide client side validators for all the JSR303 built in metadata, and provide a system to register other JSR303-metadata/client side validator pairs. Open issues include: * What metadata JSR303 should expose to make this possible * How to provide error messages, as these can't be generated when the validation error occurs. The proposal is to provide a basic client side message context which can be used to populate the error message (including substituting in the input label and submitted value). The developer would provide both a simple message (for the client side) and a more complex one for when the full message context is available on the server * How to attach the correct client side validator to the html input tag.
