rich:validator does not validate on the client side the @Pattern constraint --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: RF-12160 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/RF-12160 Project: RichFaces Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: component-validators, examples Affects Versions: 4.2.1.Final Environment: application: generated project from richfaces-kitchensink-archetype 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT browser: Chrome, Firefox Reporter: Juraj Húska Assignee: Brian Leathem Fix For: 4.2.4, 4.3.0.M3 When trying to validate input which has annotation based constraint @Pattern, validation for this constraint is triggered only after the submitting of the form. The other constraints (@NotNull, @Size) are triggered as expected, after the BLUR event fired on that input. The issue is noticeable on the project generated by the kitchensink archetype with RichFaces 4.2.1-SNAPSHOT libraries. The facelet for the input validation with pattern annotation-based constraints looks like: {code:xml} <h:panelGrid columns="3" columnClasses="titleCell"> <h:outputLabel for="name" value="Name:"/> <h:inputText id="name" value="#{cc.attrs.member.name}"> <rich:validator/> </h:inputText> <rich:message for="name" errorClass="invalid"/> </h:panelGrid> {code} The model entity field which is validated in the above mentioned input: {code} @NotNull @Size(min = 1, max = 25) @Pattern(regexp = "[A-Za-z ]*", message = "must contain only letters and spaces") private String name; {code} Note that I have tried to reproduce this issue on metamer and I was not successful.
