@ConversionErrorFieldValidator and Collections

["Petzsch, Martin" <ma...@capgemini.com>]

Hi,

I have a data bean which contains a date field. I annotate the set method
with:
	@ConversionErrorFieldValidator(message="aDate: Conversion Error")
	@RequiredFieldValidator(message="aDate: Required Field")
	public void setADate(Date date) {
		aDate = date;
	}

This works find and I get the messages in the expected order depending on my
input.

The same data bean also contains a List of another data bean and the
associated methods:
	private List<InnerBean> innerList;
	@VisitorFieldValidator(message="Inner Message:",appendPrefix=false)
	public List<InnerBean> getInnerList() {
		if (innerList == null) {
			innerList = new ArrayList<InnerBean>();
			innerList.add(new InnerBean());
		}
		return innerList;
	}

	public void setInnerList(List<InnerBean> innerList) {
		this.innerList = innerList;
	}

My inner bean is as follows:
	private Date innerProp;
	public Date getInnerProp(){
		return innerProp;
	}
	
	@ConversionErrorFieldValidator(message="innerProp: Conversion
Error")
	@RequiredFieldValidator(message="innerProp: Required Field")
	public void setInnerProp(Date str){
		innerProp = str;
	}

The required field validator works as expected.  I do not however get any
result EVER back from the ConversionErrorFieldValidator on the inner bean.
If I enter an incorrect value it simply does not get set.

Does anyone have a working example of ConversionErrorFieldValidator inside a
bean which is inside a collection?

Many thanks,
Martin
