Get validation error messages

[austinkottke]

How do I get error messages from Validators.

Ive used to the field interface to pull the validators using getValidators();

But have no idea how to return the messages from the field in error.

Example:

EditorDelegate<Field> d = new EditorDelegate<Field>() {
            @Override
            public String getPath() {
                return null;  //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
            }

            @Override
            public void recordError(String s, Object o, Object o2) {
                GWT.log("Record error: " + s);
            }

            @Override
            public void setDirty(boolean b) {

            }

            @Override
            public HandlerRegistration subscribe() {
                return null;  //To change body of implemented methods use File | Settings | File Templates.
            }
        };

            f.setDelegate(d);

I used custom validators to get the error messages.

		TextField field = new TextField();
		field.addValidator(defaultValidators);
	/*field.addValidator(new RegExValidator("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*", "Only alphanumericallowed"));*/
	


  private Validator<String> defaultValidators = new AbstractValidator<String>() {


			@Override
			public List<EditorError> validate(Editor<String> editor, String value) {
				List<EditorError> errors  = null;
				if(value==null)
					return null;
	            if (!(value.matches("^[a-zA-Z0-9]*"))) {
	                errors= createError(editor, "Only alphanumeric allowed", value);
	                System.out.println(errors.get(0).getMessage());
	            }
	            return errors;
			}
		};

You can also try extending the inbuilt validators, and getting the messages by doing the similar changes in validate method.
