@AssertTrue Method not called when submitting JSF page

I am using bean validation with hibernate-validator-4.2.0.Final and JSF 2.1. When i submit the page @NotEmpty, @NotNull,.. works correct , but my method, annotated with @AssertTrue is never called.

I changed the access modifier to public, renamed it to getValid, but the method is never called..

@AssertTrue(message = "test")
    private Boolean isValid() {
        return ....;
    }
Solution

  • The problem is that not all fields are validated by JSF, only those that are in my facelet.

    If I call 

    SomeObject so = new SomeObject();
Validator validator = Validation.buildDefaultValidatorFactory().getValidator();
        Set<ConstraintViolation<SomeObject>> violations = validator.validate(so);

    in a test, the isValid method is triggerd.
