Spring Web Flow validator not found

问题

I am trying to do form validation in Spring Web Flow. For this I am using a validator class, which is named after the model. Just like it is stated in the documentation. The validator gets instantiated as a bean but is never called during validation. Any pointers on that issue?

flow config

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<flow xmlns="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
      xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow http://www.springframework.org/schema/webflow/spring-webflow-2.4.xsd">

    <view-state id="createTotpKeyView" view="/templates/totp/create/create" model="key">
        <on-entry>
            <evaluate expression="createTotpKeyAction"/>
        </on-entry>
        <transition on="submit" to="successfullyCreated" bind="true" validate="true"/>
    </view-state>

    <end-state id="successfullyCreated" view="/templates/totp/create/success"/>
</flow>

This is the action that is called in the view-state.

createTotpKeyAction

@Component
public class CreateTotpKeyAction implements Action
{
    String uid = "random";

    @Override
    public Event execute(RequestContext context) throws Exception
    {
        try
        {
            // Create a TOTP key and put it in the view scope
            TOTPKey totpKey = client.createTotpKeyForUid(uid, null);
            context.getViewScope().put("key", totpKey);

            return new Event(this, "success");
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            log.error("Error while creating TOTP key for user: " + uid + ".\n" + e.getMessage());
            // Put response message in flash scope to show it once
            context.getFlashScope().put("fetchingError", true);
            return new Event(this, "error");
        }
    }
}

This is the validator I am trying to use. EDIT renamed to match documentation.

KeyValidator

@Component
public class KeyValidator
    {
        [...]

    public void validateCreateTotpKeyView(TOTPKey key, ValidationContext context)
    {
        System.out.println("VALIDATE VIEW STATE");
    }

    public void validate(TOTPKey key, ValidationContext context)
    {
        System.out.println("DEFAULT VALIDATE");
    }
}

I also tried different naming schemes such as TOTPKeyValidator or TotpKeyValidator. None of them worked.

The only thing that is working, is creating a validation method in the TOTPKey class, but I don't want to use that approach.

In addition this is the log file produced during the attempted validation

It says Validating Model but nothing happens...

回答1:

It came down to a wrong import statement in my validator class.

Using org.relaxng.datatype.ValidationContext instead of org.springframework.binding.validation.ValidationContext will not work.
