Hi,

I'm still having a hard time grasping this. I tried thinking of a way to trigger an event in the CustomerLogin component to resubmit so the errors would show, no go. I tried using the onActivate of the container Page to load things in the CustomerLogin component and then resubmit the page, no go. I tried using RenderSupport like in the ValidationDecorator to add the error script, but RenderSupport isn't available inside the component before the render cycle and it's too late at setupRender phase or after.

Strangely enough, if I include <t:errors/> in the form of CustomerLogin, it actually displays the error, which really suprised me when I did a sanity check. I'm not sure why that gets triggered and not the AJAX bubbles from the ValidationDecorator that works in other places after form submit.

At this point if you couldn't tell I'm trying any half-baked alternative strategy I can imagine to try and make progress. There's got to be something I'm missing no?

Included below is some related code, this is all triggered by the activation URL <http://localhost/myapp/index/expired>

Thanks,
Rich

CustomerLogin

public class CustomerLogin {
    /**
     * Customer Log-In Form */

    @Parameter(defaultPrefix = BindingConstants.LITERAL)
    private String expired;

    @Inject
    private Logger log;

    @InjectPage
    private CaiIndex caiIndex;

    @Property
    private Customer custLog;

    @Property @Persist("flash")
    private String custId;
    @Property @Persist("flash")
    private String custPw;

    @Component(id="custPw")
    private PasswordField custPwField;

    @Component
    private Form custLoginForm;

    @Inject
    private CustomerDAO cdao;

    @Inject
    private CustSession custSession;

    @Environmental
    private RenderSupport _renderSupport;


    public void setExpired(){
        log.debug("In setExpired of CustomerLogin");

        if ("expired".equals(expired)){
log.debug("Setting recordError in setupRender for expired customer session" +
                    "\n" + " custPwField: " + custPwField);
custLoginForm.recordError(custPwField, "Session expired. Please login again.");

            ValidationTracker vt = custLoginForm.getDefaultTracker();
log.debug("Is custPwField in error?" + vt.inError(custPwField));

// _renderSupport.addScript("$('%s').getFieldEventManager().showValidationMessage('%s');",
          //          custPwField.getClientId(), vt.getError(custPwField));
        }
    }

    public void setupRender(){
        //log.debug("In onActivate of CustomerLogin");
        //
        //if ("expired".equals(expired)){
// log.debug("Setting recordError in setupRender for expired customer session" +
        //            "\n" + " custPwField: " + custPwField);
// custLoginForm.recordError(custPwField, "Session expired. Please login again.");

        //    ValidationTracker vt = custLoginForm.getDefaultTracker();
// log.debug("Is custPwField in error?" + vt.inError(custPwField));

// _renderSupport.addScript("$('%s').getFieldEventManager().showValidationMessage('%s');",
         //           custPwField.getClientId(), vt.getError(custPwField));
    //    }
    }

    Object onSuccessFromCustLoginForm(){
log.debug("In onSuccessFromCustLoginForm, going to see if customer is valid then go to index");

        if(!cdao.validate(custId, custPw)){
custLoginForm.recordError(custPwField, "Invalid user name or password");
            log.error("User failed validation on login page");
            return this;
        }

        log.debug("User was validated successfully");

        custSession.setUserName(custId);
        custSession.setValid();

        return caiIndex.initialize(custSession);
    }
}

Index page:

public class Index {
    public Object onActionFromRegister(){
        return "register";
    }

    @Inject
    private Logger log;

    @Property @Persist("flash")
    private Boolean expired;

    @Component
    private CustomerLogin clogin;

    void onActivate(String s){
log.debug("in setupRender of index page: activation string = " + s);

        if ("expired".equals(s)){
            expired = true;
            clogin.setExpired();
            //return "index";
        }

        //return this;
    }
}

Hi,

a somewhat related question. It's now possible thanks to the Decorator for my webapp to display validation bubbles after a form submit. I'd also like to be able to set an error somewhere in the beginning of the rendering process and have it show. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to accomplish this. By the time setupRender or beginRender occurs, it seems the form.recordError(String) method and its overload do not affect the current render cycle.

I tried doing something along the lines of dumping the first render cycle, returning false at a late render cycle and going back through, but that doesn't seem to do anything useful.

To give more perspective, my application manages a session timer, and when the timeout occurs the user gets booted to the main page. As before I don't want to introduce more text to the page and would prefer to have the login form of the main page grab the user's focus with a "Session has timed out" pop up bubble.

I am passing an activation context to the main page, and having this pipe into the login component via a parameter. The trouble is what can I do within the Login component to display the popup error when it becomes aware the parameter for the session timeout is triggered.

Thanks,
Rich

Thanks Josh,

that was exactly what I was looking to do. Hopefully I'll be able to start seeing these things on my own sometime soon!

If you are looking to get the error bubble to pop up after you submit
the form you could use this:

public class BubbleValidationDecorator extends BaseValidationDecorator {
     private final Environment _environment;

     private final RenderSupport _renderSupport;

     public BubbleValidationDecorator(Environment environment,
                                      RenderSupport renderSupport) {
         _environment = environment;
         _renderSupport = renderSupport;
     }

     public void afterField(Field field) {
         final ValidationTracker validationTracker =
_environment.peekRequired(ValidationTracker.class);
         if (validationTracker.inError(field)) {
             _renderSupport.addScript(

"$('%s').getFieldEventManager().showValidationMessage('%s');",
field.getClientId(), validationTracker.getError(field));
         }
     }
}


Add to AppModule:
