public class Register {
@NotNull private String password;
@NotNull private String passwordRepeat;
@AssertTrue private boolean comparePasswords() {
return password.equals(passwordRepeat);
}
private Set<ConstraintViolation<Register>> violations;
public void doRegister(AjaxBehaviorEvent event) {
Validator validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
violations = validator.validate(this);
if(violations.isEmpty()) {
// This occurs
}
}
}
My validation will pass if both my passwords are not null, but they are different.
Seems like the last constraint will not be taken into account, though I do not have a clue why. Does anyone have suggestion?
And no, I am not searching for any implementations of @Matches or simular custom validators. I just would like to get this problem solved.
Thanks in advance.
Update 1
I have run some tests regarding this, hopefully the results will provide needed information.
Bean.java

@RequestScoped

runValidation(false, 3);

examplesMatch() is not a valid Java Beans boolean property getter. It needs to start with get or is.
