JarCastingSpring MVC Toolkit
This toolkit provides additional features to the Spring MVC module of the Spring Framework.
Features
- Input tag supporting HTML 5 form validation by using Bean Validation constraints
Documentation
Html5InputTag
This JSP tag adds HTML 5 form validation to the default Spring MVC input tag by using Bean Validation constraints. It supports:
- @Max, @Min, @NotNull @Size annotations form the Bean Validation API.
- Custom @Email, @NotEmpty and @URL annotations from the Hibernate Validator implementation
Here the mapping between Java and HTML 5 code:
| Java Code | JSP Page | Generated HTML 5 |
| @NotEmpty String firstName; |
<jem:input path="firstName" /> | <input id="firstName" type="text" required="required" /> |
| @NotNull String city; |
<jem:input path="city" /> | <input id="city" type="text" required="required" /> |
| @Size(max=40) String address; |
<jem:input path="address" /> | <input id="address" type="text" maxlength="40" /> |
| @Size(max=40) String address; |
<jem:input path="address" maxlength="20" /> | <input id="address" type="text" maxlength="20" /> |
| @Min(value=18) @Max(value=99) Integer age; |
<jem:input path="age" /> | <input id="age" type="number" min="18" max="99" /> |
| @Email String email; |
<jem:input path="email" /> | <input id="email" type="email" /> |
| @URL String website; |
<jem:input path="website" /> | <input id="website" type="url" /> |
| Integer birthYear; | <jem:input path="birthYear" /> | <input id="birthYear" type="number" /> |
