Custom Validator and Required Validator

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I would like to have a Required Validator on a field but it will be required based on another field’s value.

How can I do this?

If I use Custom Validator, there is no way to put a message for the error. ( or I can’t find it )

I only get

xp:this.validators

xp:customValidator

xp:this.validate

</xp:this.validate>

</xp:customValidator>

</xp:this.validators>

Where does the message go?

Subject: Try expressionValidator

Have you try instead of a customValidator a expressionValidator.See the example.

<xp:inputText id=“inputTest” value=“#{currentDocument.Test}” required=“true”>

<xp:this.validators>



	<xp:validateRequired

		message="Please enter a value">

	</xp:validateRequired>



	<xp:validateExpression

		message="Please enter the word 'TEST'">

	

		<xp:this.expression><![CDATA[#{javascript:var strValue:string = getComponent("inputTest").getSubmittedValue();

			if( strValue == "TEST" ) 

				return true;

			else

				return false;}]]>

		</xp:this.expression>

				

	</xp:validateExpression>



</xp:this.validators>

</xp:inputText>
