UIInput value and submitted values

[Madhav Bhargava <Ma...@infosys.com>]

Hi All,



I am developing a custom validator. My validator is enclosed in one
EditableValueHolder component and then tries to get the value from other
EditableValueHolder component.



When I say -

EditableValueHolder component = (EditableValueHolder)uiComponent;

Component.getValue();

getValue() method returns me null even when the value is filled in and
submitted. When I check the whole component I found that submittedValue
attribute has the correct value and the value attribute was null.





Could anyone explain me the following:



1.	What is the purpose of submittedValue when value is there?
2.	Even if the user while including say a <t:inputText> component
specifies a property value="#{}" then also the value is null when it
goes to the validator's validate method but the submittedValue is
correctly populated?



Thanks,

madhav

AW: UIInput value and submitted values

[Bi...@gmx.net]

As far as i know, that is because:

 

            --> Values are applied in APPLY_REQUEST_VALUES phase to the
submittedValue field

            --> Values are converted/validated in the PROCESS_VALIDATION
phase.

            --> The next phase is UPDATE_MODEL_VALUES phase. JSF applies the
submittedValue to the value field (If validation/Convertion was sucecssfull)

 

Hope this helps. (See

information)
