public class Register {
@NotNull private String password;
@NotNull private String passwordRepeat;
@AssertTrue private boolean comparePasswords() {
return password.equals(passwordRepeat);
}
private Set<ConstraintViolation<Register>> violations;
public void doRegister(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {
Validator validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
violations = validator.validate(this);
if(violations.isEmpty()) {
// This occurs
}
}
}
My validation will pass if both my passwords are not null, but they are different. Seems like the last constraint will not be taken into account, though I do not have a clue why. Does anyone have suggestion?
And no, I am not searching for any implementations of @Matches or simular custom validators. I just would like to get this problem solved.
Thanks in advance.
Update 1
I have run some tests regarding this, hopefully the results will provide needed information.
Bean.java
@Named
@RequestScoped
public class Bean {
@NotNull private String example1;
@NotNull private String example2;

private FacesContext context;
private Validator validator;
@PostConstruct

runValidation(false, 1);
example1 = "abc";
example2 = "abc";
runValidation(true, 2);
example1 = "abc";
example2 = null;
runValidation(false, 3);
}
private void runValidation(boolean assertion, int testNr) {

violations = validator.validate(this);
if(violations.isEmpty() == assertion) {

}
else {
message = new FacesMessage("Failed test nr. " + testNr);
}
context.addMessage(FacesMessage.FACES_MESSAGES, message);

examplesMatch() is not a valid Java Beans boolean property getter. It needs to start with get or is.
