Instructions

Use this validator to allow users to enter multiple input values in a single input, separated by a comma, semicolon, or other custom separator. The CSVValidator will separate the input values and call the subvalidator for each of those values.

See "myfaces-example-sandbox/validatecsv.jsp" for an example.

Known issues

The separator, if specified, must be a valid regex for separating the input String, eq "\\."

Parameters cannot be passed.
