[richfaces-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (RF-12046) JSR303 ConstraintViolation propertyPath support for graphValidator

JSR303 ConstraintViolation propertyPath support for graphValidator ------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: RF-12046 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12046 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Feature Request Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-validators Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Final Reporter: Gerald Turner Priority: Optional Fix For: 4.Future In JSR303 § 4.2 ConstraintViolation, there is the following note: "From rootBean and propertyPath, it is possible to rebuild the context of the failure" Perhaps it would be possible for graphValidator to map ConstraintViolation propertyPath to ValueExpressions, then iterate child EditableValueHolder components and assign FacesMessages to clientIds of these components where it finds a match, otherwise fallback on the current behavior of using the clientId of the graphValidator itself (perhaps even adding an the option to use a null clientId for global messages instead). A more thorough example of this use-case is here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5639088/cross-field-validation-with-in... Comments at stackoverflow suggest MyFaces ExtVal Bean Validation can do the trick, however I went down that road, their framework ignores ConstraintViolation propertyPath as well (see: http://old.nabble.com/Re%3A-ExtVal-BV-question-to33455513.html)
