Show JSF validation error next to the fields - validation

Question

I want to display the error messages beside the text fields.
I am able to show the error message but all the error messages come at once...
<h:form id="LoginForm">
<table>
<tr>
<td colspan="4" id="login">
<h2 style="border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC;">Login</h2>
<tr>
<td class="label">
<h:outputLabel for="email" value="Login Email:"></h:outputLabel>
</td>
<td class="field">
<h:inputText id="email" size="20" maxlength="70" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter your email,eg:yourid#domain.com" value="#{loginController.selected1.email}"> <f:validateLength maximum="70"></f:validateLength></h:inputText>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="label">
<h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password:"></h:outputLabel>
</td>
<td class="field">
<h:inputSecret id="password" size="20" maxlength="50" required="true" requiredMessage="Please confirm your password" value="#{loginController.selected1.password}"><f:validateLength minimum="6" maximum="50"></h:inputSecret>
</td>
</tr>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<h:commandButton value="Login" type="submit" action="#{loginController.checkValidUser()}"></h:commandButton>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</h:form>
How to modify the code to show error messages beside the text fields?

Answer 1

Just put a <h:message> right there where you need to see it. E.g.
<tr>
<td class="label">
<h:outputLabel for="email" value="Login Email:"></h:outputLabel>
</td>
<td class="field">
<h:inputText id="email" size="20" maxlength="70" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter your email,eg:yourid#domain.com" value="#{loginController.selected1.email}"> <f:validateLength maximum="70"></f:validateLength></h:inputText>
<h:message for="email" />
</td>
</tr>
or
<tr>
<td class="label">
<h:outputLabel for="email" value="Login Email:"></h:outputLabel>
</td>
<td class="field">
<h:inputText id="email" size="20" maxlength="70" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter your email,eg:yourid#domain.com" value="#{loginController.selected1.email}"> <f:validateLength maximum="70"></f:validateLength></h:inputText>
</td>
<td class="message">
<h:message for="email" />
</td>
</tr>
Unrelated to the concrete problem, I suggest to have a look at <h:panelGrid>. It minimizes the ugly HTML table boilerplate. Your code would then end up like follows:
<h:form id="LoginForm">
<h2>Login</h2>
<h:panelGrid columns="3" columnClasses="label,field,message">
<h:outputLabel for="email" value="Login Email:" />
<h:inputText id="email" value="#{loginController.selected1.email}" size="20" maxlength="70" required="true" requiredMessage="Please enter your email,eg:yourid#domain.com">
<f:validateLength maximum="70" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message for="email" />
<h:outputLabel for="password" value="Password:" />
<h:inputSecret id="password" value="#{loginController.selected1.password}" size="20" maxlength="50" required="true" requiredMessage="Please confirm your password">
<f:validateLength minimum="6" maximum="50" />
</h:inputSecret>
<h:message for="password" />
<h:panelGroup />
<h:commandButton value="Login" action="#{loginController.checkValidUser()}" />
<h:panelGroup />
</h:panelGrid>
</h:form>
