Description

This issue depends on the following issue: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VALIDATOR-265

As I want to use the errorStyle attribute for the text tag I wrote my own TextTag class and enhanced it with the two variables nameprefix and nameproperty. If both exist i build the name with concatenating the two values, otherwise i call the prepareName() method.

<pc:text errorStyle="..." errorKey="..." name="name" property="mobile" nameprefix="sms_" nameproperty="email" />

protected String prepareNamePlusPrefix() throws JspException {
String res = null;
if (this.nameprefix == null || 0 == this.nameprefix.trim().length())

{ res = super.prepareName(); }

else {
res = this.nameprefix.trim();
if (this.nameproperty != null)

{ Object valueName = TagUtils.getInstance().lookup(pageContext, name, this.nameproperty, null); res += valueName.toString(); }

else

{ res += super.prepareName(); }

}
return res;
}

When validation fails and I add an Error with property "sms_email" this property also has to be checked in the doErrosExist() method:

protected boolean doErrorsExist() throws JspException {
boolean errorsExist = false;
if ((getErrorStyleId() != null) || (getErrorStyle() != null) || (getErrorStyleClass() != null)) {
if (this.nameprefix == null || 0 == this.nameprefix.trim().length())

{ return super.doErrorsExist(); }

String actualName = prepareNamePlusPrefix();

if (actualName != null)

{ ActionMessages errors = TagUtils.getInstance().getActionMessages(pageContext, GUIConstants.ERRORS_KEY + GUIConstants.PREV); errorsExist = ((errors != null) && (errors.size(actualName) > 0)); }

}
return errorsExist;
}
