You might want to do something like this and specify your own validator that later sets the Style

<h:inputText value="#{payment.card}" styleClass="#{payment.currentStyle}"

required="true" validator="#{payment.luhnCheck}"/>

Basically luhnCheck gets called, if valid nothing happens and card gets stored. Otherwise the currentStyle returns a string with the name of the style to use in error cells (or input fields)

there is another solution which might help others.

Create a listener with for render_response phase and also define the id's of the components ending with "_lbl" which you want to highlight.

and the add the following code in listener.




also add the reset method in which you can remove the style.

Thanks,
Rahul

This isn't going to work flawlessly in iterated components like UIData. The posted code at its own does also not make much sense at some places.

You may find this example more useful: http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/12/set-focus-in-jsf.html

Thanks dude and definately i forgot to mention that this was for UIComponent but definately BalusC Code is universal but not sure if this will work with icefaces as id's in icefaces are changed dynamically on the page rendered.

Thanks,
Rahul

That contradicts the JSF specification. So either IceFaces is bogus or your interpretation is wrong.

JSF IDs should only be dynamic if you don't explicitly set them using the "id=" attribute. However, the "true" ID may actually be a compound of the component's ID concatenated with the id's of containing components. Mostly this comes as an issue when you're referencing them via Javascript.

You might want to check out the new MyFaces Estension Validation package and see if that serves your needs (http://myfaces.apache.org/extensions/validator/).

This is what exactly icefaces does. So I think we can use startswith to compare the id but that's not 100% full proof.

You seem to insist that the ID´s are changed when the page is rendered. This is totally wrong.
