validation in JSF
Hi All,
Can anybody please help me on this.
Since many days I am not able to figure out the problem.
My scenorio is,
I want to do validation like.
I have 2 text boxes one for first name & other for last name.If user doesn't enter anything in text boxes it should display messege as,
First Name is required.
Last Name is required.
But I am only able to see messge asValue is required.
<h:inputText id="firstName" value="#{Bean.FirstName}" required="true"/>
<h:inputText id="lastName" value="#{Bean.lastName}"
required="true"/>
I am using jsf-api.jar,jsf-impl.jar,myfaces-api.jar,myfaces-impl.jar,tomahawk.jar.
So is it library related issue or there is another way to display messege as above?

<h:inputText id="firstName" value="# Bean.FirstName}"required="true"/>
<h:message for="firstName"/>
in your faces config xml file you have to put something like this
<application>
<message-bundle>
webadmin.MyErrors <-this is the path to the .properties file that is defined below
</message-bundle>
</application>
in in your project you create a file called "whatever" (in this case MyErrors.properties) In that file have this:
javax.faces.component.UIInput.REQUIRED=First Name must be filled in.
null
Hope that helps

P.S. I have no idea how to get it to distinguish first and last name. I just make a generic message like " Name field is required"

Hi jbayuga,
Thanks a lot for your reply.
But the same problem I am facing how to differentiate if I do not want to give general messege as Please fill all Values.
I want two seperate messeges as Please enter first name,Please enter last name if user doesnt enter anything in both text boxes.
Thnaks
