I get javax.faces.FacesException: java.lang.NullPointerException when I type something in the zip code and hit submit with country set to default null value. If I select the country and then type something everything works. I tried SubmittedValue, but it is working the opposite way - with null is working and after this is giving null exception.
@FacesValidator("zipV")
public class ZipValidator implements Validator {
LocaleBean Bean = new LocaleBean();
String language;
private static final String ZIP_PATTERN_BG = "\\d{4}";
private static final String ZIP_PATTERN_US = "\\d{5}";
private static final String ZIP_PATTERN_DEFAULT = "[A-Za-z0-9]*";
private String zip_pattern;
private Pattern pattern;
private Matcher matcher;
private String country;
@Override
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException {
language = Bean.getLanguage();
UIInput Input = (UIInput) component.getAttributes().get("country");
country = Input.getValue().toString();
String zip = (String) value;
if (country == null || country.isEmpty()) {
return;
}
switch (country) {
case "BGR":
zip_pattern = ZIP_PATTERN_BG;
break;
case "USA":
zip_pattern = ZIP_PATTERN_US;
break;
default:
zip_pattern = ZIP_PATTERN_DEFAULT;
break;
}
pattern = Pattern.compile(zip_pattern);
matcher = pattern.matcher(value.toString());
if (!matcher.matches()) {
switch (language) {
case "en": {
FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Invalid zip.");
msg.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
throw new ValidatorException(msg);
}
case "bg": {
FacesMessage msg = new FacesMessage("Невалиден пощенски код.");
msg.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);
throw new ValidatorException(msg);
}
}
}
}
}
Here's the view:
<h:selectOneMenu id="country" value="#{account.country}" required="true" requiredMessage="#{msg['register.required']}" binding="#{country}">
<f:selectItem itemValue="#{null}" itemLabel="#{msg['register.countryQ']}"/>
<f:selectItems value="#{account.countries}"/>
<f:ajax listener="#{account.loadStates()}" render="state"/>
</h:selectOneMenu>
<h:inputText id="zipcode" required="true" requiredMessage="#{msg['register.required']}" value="#{account.zipcode}">
<f:validator validatorId="zipV"/>
<f:attribute name="country" value="#{country}"/>
</h:inputText>
