validateMultiple (OmniFaces VDL Documentation

Description:

ValidateMultiple allows the developer to validate multiple fields by a custom validator method:

<o:validateMultiple id="myId" components="foo bar baz" validator="#{bean.validateValues}" />
<h:message for="myId" />
<h:inputText id="foo" />
<h:inputText id="bar" />
<h:inputText id="baz" />

public boolean validateValues(FacesContext context, List<UIInput> components, List<Object> values) {
	// ...
}

Or by a managed bean instance which implements the MultiFieldValidator interface:

<o:validateMultiple id="myId" components="foo bar baz" validator="#{validateValuesBean}" />
<h:message for="myId" />
<h:inputText id="foo" />
<h:inputText id="bar" />
<h:inputText id="baz" />

@ManagedBean
@RequestScoped
public class ValidateValuesBean implements MultiFieldValidator {
	@Override
	boolean validateValues(FacesContext context, List<UIInput> components, List<Object> values) {
		// ...
	}
}

Component Information
Info	Value
Component Type	`org.omnifaces.component.validator.ValidateMultiple`
Handler Class	`org.omnifaces.component.validator.ValidateMultipleHandler`
Renderer Type	None
Description	None

Attributes
Name	Required	Type	Description
`id`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	The component identifier for this component. This value must be unique within the closest parent component that is a naming container.
`rendered`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `boolean`)	Flag indicating whether or not this component should be rendered (during Render Response Phase), or processed on any subsequent form submit. The default value for this property is true.
`binding`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `javax.faces.component.UIComponent`)	The `ValueExpression` linking this component to a property in a backing bean.
`components`	`true`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	The space separated collection of client IDs of UI input components to be validated.
`validator`	`true`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Object`)	This attribute can take either a `ValueExpression` representing an implementation of the `MultiFieldValidator` instance, or a `MethodExpression` representing a validator method with the following signature: `boolean validate(FacesContext context, List<UIInput> components, List<Object> values)` that will be called during Process Validations phase to perform correctness checks on the value of this component.
`message`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	The validator message to be shown on failure. Any "{0}" placeholder in the message will be substituted with a comma separated string of labels of the referenced input components.
`showMessageFor`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.String`)	The identifier for which this validator should show the message. Defaults to "@this" which is the validator component itself. Other available values are "@all" which will show the message for all of the referenced components and "@invalid" which will show the message for only the invalidated components. Any other space separated value will be treated as client ID of UI input component.
`disabled`	`false`	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `boolean`)	Whether the validation should be disabled or not. Defaults to `false`.
