[izpack-users] NotEmptyValidator and PortValidator issue for input field..

[Ajay Kumar Gour]

Hello All,

Iam trying to use NotEmptyValidator for the validation in UserInputPanel
for a field. But when i run the installation it doesn't prompt the error
message (i tried both the events for inout field i.e. focus lost and Next
button press on input panel) if i leave the field empty. Actually, i want
to use PortValidator to check if port is free or not, so i used <validator
class="com.izforge.izpack.util.NotEmptyValidator" txt="Port is not
available" /> initially. But it didn't work so i thought of using
NotEmptyValidator first to make sure iam giving all the required
attributes. But even NotEmptyValidator is not working. Can anybody help me
in sorting both the above mentioned issues?

Here is my UserInputSpec.xml file -

<userInput>
<panel order="0">
	<!--field type="staticText" align="left" txt="My comment is here."
id="input.comment"/-->
	<field type="rule" variable="PORT">
		<spec txt="Proxy Port:" id="PORT" size="5" set="" layout="N:5:5"/>
		<validator class="com.izforge.izpack.util.NotEmptyValidator"
txt="Error"/>	
	</field>
</panel>
</userInput>

My configuration file -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>
<properties>
	<category name="general">
		<property name="PORT" value=""/>
	</category>
</properties>

And finally, install.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" standalone="yes" ?>

<installation version="1.0">
       <info>
           <appname>Connector Server</appname>
           <appversion>1.0</appversion>
