Thanks Geoff for the link, it's more or less what I wanted to do but I've
found a way to do what I want by manipulating DOM.
For information, in case it can help someone, here is the final HTML code I
wanted :
<div class="single-error-message">
<p>The field must be 16 digits long</p>
<p>
<label for="testField" id="testField-label"> Test : </label>
<input type="text" name="testField" id="testField" value="">
<img src="/sips-pp-web/assets/tapestry/5.1.0.5/spacer.gif" alt="Cross
indicating that this form field is in error" class="t-error-icon"
id="testField:icon">
</p>
</div>
I've created a custom ValidationDecorator and manage to obtain the code
above by overriding the insideLabel() method :
@Override
public void insideLabel(Field field, Element element)
{
if (field == null) return;
if (inError(field)){
//Label's container is retrieved
Element parent = element.getContainer();
//A new div is created into this container
Element divElement =
parent.element("div","class","single-error-message");
//The error message is retrieved and added to this new element
ValidationTracker tracker =
environment.peekRequired(ValidationTracker.class);
Element content = divElement.element("p");
content.text(tracker.getError(field));
//As the parent can't be moved into one of its children, we must
//extract the child first
divElement.moveBefore(parent);
//Then, the field is added as the last child in order to be
displayed
//after the error message. But as moveToBottom method cause
problems,
//We finally use a workaround with two calls to moveToTop.
parent.moveToTop(divElement);
content.moveToTop(divElement);
}
}
I'm sure that a better way to do that exist but this one works (at least).
Thomas.
