Custom validator disables hibernate default validator ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JBSEAM-2245 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-2245 Project: JBoss Seam Issue Type: Bug Components: JSF Affects Versions: 2.0.0.GA Reporter: dapeng wang Fix For: 2.0.1.GA The default hibernate validator doesn't work anymore, as soon as a custom validator is added to the component, though the text field is put inside a validateAll tag. In the class ValidateAllRendererBase following code is found, which is buggy in my opinion: if ( evh.getValidators().length==0 && evh.getValidators().length == 0 ) { evh.addValidator( new ModelValidator() ); } First of all, I don't understand, why you check the same condition twice. Second, I have no clue, why you only add the ModelValidator, if here is no other validator. I would exactly like to combine the hibernate validator with my custom one. Pleas remove the if check. I would also like to help and fix this bug. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
