Validation/rendering strategy

[Julien Martin]

Hello,

I would like for an outputText element to be hidden (i.e. not rendered) when the corresponding inputText element has input and validated (by a standard tag-based validator). Is that possible?

<h:outputText id="age-label" rendered="??" value="Fill in your age"/>
<h:inputText id="age" value="#{MyBean.age}" required="true">
<f:validateLongRange minimum="5"/><!-- Notice that this is not an inline validator -->
</h:inputText>

Thanks in advance,

Julien.

Create a property in your backing bean which will set the rendered property of your outputText to false when you submit the form.

How would this property be aware of validation errors since I don't use an inline validator???

That property should not be aware of a validation error, because by a validation error of the other property there will be no post of the form and so the value of the backing bean will not change and your outputText will be displayed.
