RE: [FormProc-developer] shared-validator and rules

[Anthony E. <me...@an...>]

This is because you have two validators as a child for an element.  An element can only have one validator.  If you want
to have multiple validators for a single element then you will need to use a validator group:

<element name="birth_year">
  <validator type="group">
    <validator type="shared" name="year"/>
    <validator type="rule">
      <rule>my.form.BirthYearRule</rule>
      <error lang="en">Must be a valid birth year</error>
    </validator>
  </validator>
  <message lang="en">Birth year must be 4 digits</message>
  <write-method>setBirthYear</write-method>
</element>


Sincerely,
Anthony Eden
