Validator conflict with OnChange

[Mox]

I have a problem that Validator doesn't get fired because of OnChange action, I don't know why.

This is my entity:

@Entity @Getter @Setter
@EntityValidator(value=NamesValidator.class,
properties= {
        @PropertyValue(name="id"),
        @PropertyValue(name="name"),
        @PropertyValue(name="childName")})
public class Names {
    @Id
    @Column(length=7)
    @OnChange(OnChangeNamesIDAction.class)
    private String id;

    @Column(length=255)
    private String name;

    @ManyToOne(fetch=FetchType.LAZY)
    @DescriptionsList(descriptionProperties="id,name")
    @NoCreate 
    @NoModify
    private childName;
}

Problem is when I click New, and enter for example 123 in id textbox and click Save, then Validator doesn't show any error message (it validates if name is empty).
If I click New, and enter for example 123 in id textbox, and then press Tab and then click Save, Validator shows error messge.
If I remove @OnChange(OnChangeNamesIDAction.class) annotation then Validator works ok.

What is the problem?

Hi Mox,

when I click New, and enter for example 123 in id textbox and click Save, then Validator doesn't show any error message

In this case, the record is saved?

No, it's not saved.

Hi Mox,

So the problem is not the validation, the problem is that because you move the mouse from the textfield to the button, on clicking on the button the event executed is the onchange event, and no the action asociated with the button.

Do you use the Save button on top or the one on bottom? Does it fail with both?

It fails with both, but interestingly, it seems it works with Ctrl+S.

Hi Mox:

Well, when you click on an action from a field with an event, the action is not executed but only the event. Add it as a bug, I will revise the case.

Hi Mox,

I tried this case, even using your above code as is, with OpenXava 7.6.1 and it works nicely. Now the validation message is shown when click on save, and both the validator and onchange action are executed. So, surely the bug was fixed laterally in some point since the version you were using to the current 7.6.1.
