We use a GenericValidator in server calsses. The implementation is injected via RequestScoped Managed bean. When we run this example under Java EE 7 (Wildfly 13) everthing works fine. Now we try to migrate to Java EE 8 (Under Wildfly 14). Somehow we now get an NullPointerException. How can I get rid of the Error?
Here the Snipped:
password.xhtml
<p:password id="password" widgetVar="#{cc.clientId}"
value="#{cc.attrs.compBean.componentData[cc.clientId].value}">
<f:validator for="password" validatorId="genericValidator" />
</p:password>
GenericValidator.java
...
import javax.faces.validator.FacesValidator;
import javax.faces.validator.Validator;
import javax.faces.validator.ValidatorException;
import javax.inject.Inject;
@FacesValidator("genericValidator")
public class GenericValidator implements Validator, ClientValidator, Serializable {
...
@Inject
private Validate validator;
@Override
public void validate(FacesContext fc, UIComponent uic, Object value) throws ValidatorException {
validator.validate(fc, uic, value); // Here is the NullPointer (validator is null)
}
...
}
