Custom Regex Validator

[Mary Cole]

Hi,

I need to write a custom validator which can accept the regex expression as an attribute. Can anybody please point me to the right resource or ideas?

In JSF, custom validators are handled in the Java code, not in attributes.

In terms of resources, I like the The Complete Reference JavaServer Faces by Schalk/Burns. It's got a good section on validators and how to create custom ones.

Hi Mary

Since JSF 2.0 you have a core tag f:validateRegex that accept and validate from a regex expression, you have to set the pattern attribute to use it.
<h:inputText id="data" value="#{bean.data}"> <f:validateRegex pattern="[^0-9]"/> </h:inputText> I hope this help you with your problem
Regards

Well if you want to go all 2.0 about it...
