Hello there,

i am trying to bind an error message (required tag) to an inputText of my
form:
<h:form>
name: <h:inputText value="#{Visitor.firstname}" /><br>
surname: <h:inputText value="#{Visitor.lastname}"
></h:inputText><br>
date_of_birth: <h:inputText value="#{Visitor.birth}"
maxlength="10" size="10" required="true">
<f:convertDateTime dateStyle="short"
type="date"/>
</h:inputText>
<br><br>
<h:commandButton action="success" value="Submit" />
<h:message for "#{Visitor.birth}"/>
</h:form>

But thats not right. How to reference the field "date_of_birth" in
h:message?

Best regards,

a.k.

The 'for' attribute takes a component ID, not a value of the component you want to use.

Therefore, you need to give your inputText an ID (it's a good idea to have IDs on all
components, otherwise JSF will create them for you, which sometimes causes problems):

<h:inputText id="dateOfBirth" value="#{Visitor.birth}" maxlength="10" size="10" required="true">
....
</h:inputText>

and then use that ID on the message:

<h:message for="dateOfBirth"/>


Hope this helps.
