Incomplete/wrong explanation of @IfInvalid ------------------------------------------ Key: JBSEAM-297 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-297 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: Documentation, Examples Affects Versions: 1.0.1 Reporter: Christian Bauer Assigned To: Gavin King Priority: Minor Fix For: 1.1 The code listing in Seam reference 12.1 shows how @IfInvalid is applied to an action method. This code example is incomplete, the user variable also needs a @Valid annotation, otherwise no validation will be triggered. A debug message in ValidationInterceptor for "doing validation on component: foo" would have made this easier to find as well. The booking example doesn't use @IfInvalid/@Valid at all. However, the exp/registerExp.html file shows the correct use of @IfInvalid and @Valid. This example should be copied to the reference documentation 12.1. Then either @IfInvalid/@Valid should be used in the booking example, or the explanation should be changed.
