Validate Start to End date in ADF

Oracle ADF

Use Case – Create a custom validator to validate and To/From Date

Solution – 

JSPX – 

<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’UTF-8′?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp=”http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page” version=”2.1″
xmlns:f=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/core”
xmlns:h=”http://java.sun.com/jsf/html”
xmlns:af=”http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/faces/rich”>
<jsp:directive.page contentType=”text/html;charset=UTF-8″/>
<f:view>
<af:document id=”d1″>
<af:form id=”f1″>
<af:panelFormLayout id=”pfl1″>
<af:inputDate label=”End Date” id=”endDate”>
<f:validator validatorId=”DateToFromValidator”/>
<f:attribute name=”startDate” value=”startDate”/>
</af:inputDate>
<af:commandButton text=”Submit” id=”cb1″/>
</af:panelFormLayout>
</af:form>
</af:document>
</f:view>
</jsp:root>

Validator – 

package view;

import java.util.Date;

import javax.faces.application.FacesMessage;
import javax.faces.component.UIComponent;
import javax.faces.context.FacesContext;

import javax.faces.validator.Validator;

import javax.faces.validator.ValidatorException;

import oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.input.RichInputDate;

public class DateToFromValidator implements Validator{
public void validate(FacesContext facesContext, UIComponent uIComponent,
Object object) throws ValidatorException {
String dueDateComponentId = (String)uIComponent.getAttributes().get(“startDate”);
RichInputDate richInputDate =(RichInputDate) uIComponent.findComponent(dueDateComponentId);
Date startDate = (Date)richInputDate.getValue();
Date endDate = (Date)object;
String labelStartDate = richInputDate.getLabel();
String labelEndDate = ((RichInputDate)uIComponent).getLabel();
if((startDate == null)||(endDate == null)||(endDate.compareTo(startDate)<0)){
FacesMessage facesMessage = new FacesMessage();
facesMessage.setSummary(labelStartDate + “/”+ labelEndDate + ” Validation Error!”);
facesMessage.setDetail(labelStartDate + ” should be less than ” + labelEndDate);
facesMessage.setSeverity(facesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
facesContext.addMessage(uIComponent.getId(), facesMessage);
}
}
}
