For ValidatorType ISUNIQUE, how to specify criteriaFields from the client

[wkok]

Hi there,

In a server-side DataSource descriptor (.ds.xml file) I can successfully specify criteriaFields for an ISUNIQUE ValidatorType.

However, I need to be able to dynamically switch between different criteriaFields from the client side, but I cannot find any client side api to set the criteriaFields property on a Validator:

ListGridField listGridField = new ListGridField("Name");

Validator validator = new Validator();
validator.setType(ValidatorType.ISUNIQUE);
// HOW TO SET criteriaFields ???

listGridField.setValidators(validator);

If you were able to set the criteria fields from the client, you could bypass the validator, creating a security hole.

You could implement a type:"serverCustom" validator that uses different sets of criteria fields in different circumstances - just be sure to think carefully about security.

If you are just trying to determine uniqueness from the client-side, just use DataSource.fetchData().

Thank you, I've implemented a type:"serverCustom" validator and was able to accomplish what I needed.
