interrupt validation

[Mijo Repusic <mi...@repusic.com>]

Hi

I have build a custom validator with java which should simulate the 
required attribute of a widget. If certain rules apply the widget must 
have a value or else a validation error is shown. This works fine. The 
problem lies in the other „normal“ validations. I somehow want the 
validation to stop, if my custom validator sees it fit. I tried to place 
a workaround by using widget.setValue(null) – so the other validations 
would only see an empty widget and always return true -, but this 
somehow throws my program in an endless loop and everything goes 
horrible wrong.
I find this irritating because the method widget.getValue() can return 
null. If one can get null, one should be able to set it :)

<fd:validation>

<fd:java class="com.mycompany.validators.MyCustomValidator">
<fd:failmessage>This field should not be empty!</fd:failmessage>
</fd:java>
<!-- the validation should stop at this point -->
<fd:email>
<fd:failmessage>Not a valid email address!</fd:failmessage>
</fd:email>
....
</fd:validation>
