JSF in der Praxis 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 1

MyFaces Extensions-Validator What’s new in version 3 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 2

Agenda - 1 • Bean-Validation Integration Module (JSR 303 for JSF 1.x & 2.x + special Features) • Improved Support for 3rd Party Component Libraries • Typesafe Constraint Parameters • Constraint Severity • Pluggable Storages • Meta-Data Filters • Validation Interception 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 3

Agenda - 2 • SkipValidationEvaluator • Optional Invocation Order • Integration of RAD-Add-on • Additional Static Syntax for @JoinValidation • Empty-/Null-Value Markers • Other Improvements • New Add-ons 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 4

Bean-Validation Integration • JSR 303 for JSF 1.x and JSF 2.x • Integration Module as alternative/addition to the Property-Validation Module • Compatible with all BV conform implementations • Module provides additional features • Advantage: It’s the (new) standard • Disadvantage: Not all features of ExtVal will be available (due to spec. restrictions) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 5

ExtVal vs. JSF 2 BV-Integration • With ExtVal • @NotNull validation enabled by default (deactivation via std. JSF config) • Typesafe group validation • No Validation Markup in the Page • The ExtValBeanValidationContext allows custom implementations e.g. tags, configs,… • Component initialization (e.g. @NotNull client-side required) • Severity aware validation 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 6

ExtVal vs. JSF 2 BV-Integration • Model based validation • Sorted violation messages • Out-of-the-box dependency injection support for constraint-validators 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 7

ExtVal Annotations for BV • @BeanValidation for Group-Validation • @ModelValidation class level validation of an explicit or implicit target 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 8

@BeanValidation • Normally used in Page-Beans • Available attributes • viewIds (default: * for all pages) • useGroups (default: Default.class) • restrictGroups (default: -) • conditions (default: #{true}) • modelValidation (default: -) • List (equivalent to multi-constraint syntax of JSR 303) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 9

@BeanValidation - Examples • Simple group validation @BeanValidation(useGroups=Admin.class) • Group validation for a specific view @BeanValidation(viewIds="/login.xhtml", useGroups=Admin.class) • If group validation is defined for the whole bean, it might be required to exclude groups for special properties and/or views @BeanValidation(restrictGroups=Admin.class) • Conditional group validation @BeanValidation(useGroups = Admin.class, conditions="#{user.role.privileged}") 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 10

@ModelValidation • To trigger bean-validation after „Update model values" phase • Also uses information of @BeanValidation • Difference: @ModelValidation isn‘t accumulated • Available attributes • isActive (default: false) • displayInline (default: false) • validationTargets (default: current base object) • message (default: -) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 11

3rd Party Component Libraries • Improved support for • Trinidad • ICEfaces • RichFaces • New sandbox project e.g. for external component support modules to improve compatibility with 3rd party component libraries (http://code.google.com/p/sandbox890) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 12

Typesafe Constraint Parameters • Similar to the payload-attribute of BV (Payload is the subset of Constraint Parameters of ExtVal) • Allows typesafe and reusable parameters • Simple example - alternative for: @MyConstraint(payload = "warn") With Bean-Validation: @MyConstraint(payload = Warn.class) • Processed by Add-ons or Component Libraries 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 13

Constraint Severity • Constraints with Severity Info and Warn don‘t "stop" the JSF-Lifecycle • ExtVal 1.x.3 provides out-of-the-box • ViolationSeverity.Info.class • ViolationSeverity.Warn.class • ViolationSeverity.Error.class (= default) • ViolationSeverity.Fatal.class 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 14

Optional: Pluggable Parameters • ExtVal allows to map custom classes to the default implementations (esp. to avoid dependencies of BV Constraints to ExtVal) • Mapping via • Global-ExtVal-Parameter • Static config • Examples are available in the ExtVal Wiki 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 15

Pluggable Storages • Generic mechanism which provides scoped storages with custom APIs • Allows to create multiple storages of the same type with different names • Allows to create different storage types • StorageManager (per storage type) • Responsible for scoping • Allows to create and reset (custom) storages via an API (independent of the storage type) • Allows to provide custom (tweaked) storage implementations easily 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 16

Meta-Data Filters • Filters meta-data before it gets added to the meta-data storage • Only for static meta-data manipulation • Meta-data extraction interceptors are only for dynamic meta-data manipulation 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 17

Validation Interception - 1 • Invocation: • Global interceptors: before and after the validation of a property • Local interceptors: before and after the validation of a constraint • Allows to bypass validation of a • Property • Constraint 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 18

Validation Interception - Example • Implementation public class CustomInterceptor implements PropertyValidationInterceptor { public boolean beforeValidation( FacesContext fC, UIComponent c, Object convertedObject, Map<String, Object> p) { //... return true; } public void afterValidation( FacesContext fC, UIComponent c, Object convertedObject, Map<String, Object> p) { //... } } 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 19

Validation Interception - Example • Usage • Global interceptors ExtValContext.getContext() .addPropertyValidationInterceptor( new CustomInterceptor()); • Local interceptors @Required(parameters = CustomInterceptor.class) private String name; 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 20

SkipValidationEvaluator • Evaluates if the validation process for the current property should be skipped • Allows to provide a custom evaluator 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 21

Optional Invocation Order • Classes which implement an interface which is annotated with @InvocationOrderSupport are allowed to use @InvocationOrder • The annotation allows to register artifacts which get called e.g. before internal artifacts • Default order: 1000 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 22

Integration of RAD-Add-on • It‘s possible to use input components without value-bindings. • Use-Case: During prototyping sometimes developers have to create dummy pages without functionality. 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 23

Static Syntax for @JoinValidation • In addition to the existing notations it‘s possible to refer a target property via the fully qualified class name + the property name • Example: @JoinValidation("at.irian.demo.domain.Person:password") 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 24

Empty-/Null-Value Markers • Marker for validation strategies instead of actively ignoring empty/null values • Via Annotations • @EmptyValueAwareValidationStrategy • @NullValueAwareValidationStrategy 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 25

Other Improvements • Structural improvements • Performance improvements • (JSF-) ProjectStage support 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 26

New Add-ons - 1 • Add-ons compatible with Property- and Bean-Validation module • Transactional model validation (light) • Continue with warnings • Add-ons compatible with Property- Validation module • Advanced meta-data • Java based config (Syntax inspired by Google Guice) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 27

New Add-ons - 2 • Bean-Validation module • Spring managed constraint validation (us dependency injection in custom constraint validator implementations) 24.03.2010 DI (FH) Gerhard Petracek / MyFaces-Extensions-Validator 28
