[jbossseam-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBSEAM-3438) Honor input's label attribute in ModelValidator message

[Dan Allen (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBSEAM-3438?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12430512#action_12430512 ] 

Dan Allen commented on JBSEAM-3438:
-----------------------------------

Pete, I agree that would be nice, except that it only causes a problem in the other direction. The issue in this case is that the Hibernate Validator is not behaving like the other JSF validations. Searching for <h:outputLabel> would require us instrumenting the standard JSF validators to make them everything consistent. Then there is the problem that the <h:outputLabel> can have HTML. I think it makes sense to just fix the problem at hand. I am going to move forward with the code.

> Currently, the ModelValidator behaves unlike the standard JSF validators in that it does not provide an indexed message parameter equivalent to the value of the input's label attribute. Such a value is essential when messages cannot be displayed adjacent to the input component on the page.
> Here is an example of an input component that declares a label:
> <h:inputText id="name" value="#{person.name}" label="Name:">
>   <s:validate/>
> </h:inputText>
> Here is an example of a Hibernate Validator message key that uses this label:
> validator.length={0} length must be between {min} and {max}
> And here is what would be displayed had the validation failed:
> Name: length must be between 0 and 20
> Note that the label parameter would occupy the first and only indexed placeholder, {0}.
