[seam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (SEAMFACES-57) Use InputElement<T> instead of @InputField for injection of form input

Use InputElement<T> instead of @InputField for injection of form input ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: SEAMFACES-57 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/browse/SEAMFACES-57 Project: Seam Faces Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Validation & Conversion Affects Versions: 3.0.0.Beta1 Reporter: Dan Allen Priority: Minor The idea for @InputField is nice, but having access to only the converted value of a field is limiting. We should switch to a wrapper type at the injection point to provide access to the id, clientId and component. The implementation could also provide use the narrowing bean facility in Weld Extensions to make the producer stronger typed. Proposal: @Inject private InputElement<String> firstName; @Inject private InputElement<String> lastName; @Inject private InputElement<Date> dateOfBirth; InputElement<T> String id String clientId T value UIInput component The input element thus allows much more flexibility in terms of what the developer can accomplish in the validation method. One of those is being able to assign a message to a particular input field. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
