Hi, I have just upgraded from JBoss 4.0.5 to 4.2.1, and at the same time upgraded to Seam 2 from 1.2.1. Everything is working fine except the hibernate validations, which don't seem to be working at all. This is my setup that was working with Seam 1.2.1 | <s:decorate id="contactNoDecoration" template="layout/edit2.xhtml"> | <h:inputText id="contactNo" required="true" | value="#{CaptureLead.contactNo}" class="input" | style="width:100%"> | <a:support event="onblur" reRender="contactNoDecoration" /> | </h:inputText> | </s:decorate> and my edit2.xhtml is <ui:composition xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" | xmlns:ui="http://java.sun.com/jsf/facelets" | xmlns:h="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" | xmlns:f="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" | xmlns:s="http://jboss.com/products/seam/taglib"> | | | <span class="value #{invalid?'errors':''}"> <s:validateAll> | <ui:insert /> | </s:validateAll> </span> | <s:message styleClass="error errors" /> | | | </ui:composition> and @Pattern(regex = "[0-9]{10}", message = "{validator.form.contactNo}") | public String getContactNo() { | return contactNo; | } This validation is no longer happening with the onblur (the required=true does work though).... I had a look at the seam doc and the only new thing I could see was bypassUpdates="true". I added this with no luck. Is there some configuration step that I have missed? Thanks, Sean.
