- === Using Rules With Multiple Parameters ===
-
- The following example demonstrates the use of all of the attributes accepted by the <s:commonsValidator> tag, though it's unlikely that a single validator would make use of all six method parameters: min, max, minlength, maxlength, mask and datePatternStrict.

- public static boolean isValid( String value, double min, double max, int minlength, int maxlength,
- String mask, String datePatternStrict) {
- return false;

- }}}
-
- The attributes will be passed as parameters to your validation method in exactly this order, though most validators will only use a subset of the available attributes.
-
- '''4.'''
- {{{
- errors.all={0} must be at least {1}, not more than {2}, between {3} and {4} in length, and conform to mask {5} and date pattern {6}. Good luck!

=== Required Validator ===
The 'required' validator is a special case. The JSF framework will only call a Validator if a value was submitted. Usually, you would set required="true" as an attribute on the input component.
