Annotation Type FacesValidator


  • @Retention(RUNTIME)
    @Target({TYPE,FIELD,METHOD,PARAMETER})
    @Inherited
    @Qualifier
    public @interface FacesValidator

    The presence of this annotation on a class automatically registers the class with the runtime as a Validator. The value of the value() attribute is taken to be the validator-id and the fully qualified class name of the class to which this annotation is attached is taken to be the validator-class. The implementation must guarantee that for each class annotated with * FacesValidator, found with the algorithm in section 11.4 "Annotations that correspond to and may take the place of entries in the Application Configuration Resources" of the Jakarta Faces Specification Document, Application.addValidator(java.lang.String,java.lang.String) is called, passing the derived validator-id as the first argument and the derived validator-class as the second argument. The implementation must guarantee that all such calls to addValidator() happen during application startup time and before any requests are serviced.

      • value

        String value

        The value of this annotation attribute is taken to be the validator-id with which instances of this class of component can be instantiated by calling Application.createValidator(java.lang.String). If no value is specified, or the value is null, the value is taken to be the return of calling getSimpleName on the class to which this annotation is attached and lowercasing the first character. If more than one validator with this derived name is found, the results are undefined.

        Returns:
