Method Binding to JSF 1.0 validate-Method error

Question

Hi there,
Iam impressed, changing from Beta to 1.0 wasn't that much work at all, I just got one problem left:
<h:inputText value="#{methodsBean.orderNumber}" validator="#{methodsBean.checkOrderNumber}"/>
This is my method:
     public void checkOrderNumber(FacesContext context, UIInput input, Object value) throws ValidatorException
          String orderNumber = (String)input.getValue();
          if (orderNumber.startsWith("100-") && orderNumber.length() == 8)
               //ok
               input.setValid(true);
          else
               FacesMessage message =
                    new FacesMessage(
                         resources.getString("order_number_wrong"),
                         resources.getString("order_number_wrong_detail"));
               throw new ValidatorException(message);               
It does not work, but what's wrong? I
any ideas?!
Thanx!

hi,
perhaps you must use UIComponent instead of UIInput
the signature of Validator.validate() changed.
Object was added (you have it)
and UIComponent instead of UIInput.
here a method of me:
public static void validateEmail(
          FacesContext context,
          UIComponent component,
          Object value)
          throws ValidatorException {
          if ((context == null) || (component == null)) {
               throw new NullPointerException();
          if (!(component instanceof UIOutput)) {
               return;
          String inhalt = value.toString();
                 //GenericValidator aus Commons-Validator-Projekt
          if (!GenericValidator.isEmail(inhalt)) {
               FacesMessage fehler =
                    MessageFactory.getMessage(
                         context,
                         "EMAIL_UNGUELTIG",
                         new Object[] { "[email protected]" });
               throw new ValidatorException(fehler);
     }cheers,
