Changes Made
-
Extended ContentValidatorParams: Added
Pagefield toContentValidatorParamsto make page data available to validators. -
Updated ValidateContentDataCommand: Modified to accept and pass page data to validators during content validation.
-
Created PageValidator: New OSGi component that validates:
- Page descriptor configs against their forms
- Page template configs - gets descriptor from template when page references a template
- Part component configs in page regions
- Layout component configs in page regions
- Nested components recursively (layouts containing layouts/parts)
- Uses existing
OccurrenceValidatorandInputValidatorfor form validation - Catches
InputTypeValidationExceptionwith detailed property path context
-
Updated content commands: Modified
CreateContentCommand,UpdateContentCommand, andMoveContentCommandto extract and pass page data during validation. -
Added comprehensive tests:
- Created
PageValidatorTestwith 19 test cases covering all scenarios including InputTypeValidationException - Created
ExtraDataValidatorTestwith 4 test cases including InputTypeValidationException handling - Created
SiteConfigsValidatorTestwith 4 test cases including InputTypeValidationException handling
- Created
-
Added i18n messages: Added validation error messages to
phrases.properties:-
system.cms.validation.pageConfigInvalid- Page config invalid for {0} at {1} -
system.cms.validation.partConfigInvalid- Part config invalid for {0} at {1} -
system.cms.validation.layoutConfigInvalid- Layout config invalid for {0} at {1} -
system.cms.validation.componentConfigPropertyInvalid- Component config property validation with property path -
system.cms.validation.xDataPropertyInvalid- XData property validation with property path -
system.cms.validation.siteConfigPropertyInvalid- Site config property validation with property path
-
-
Enhanced error context: Validation errors now include detailed component information:
-
Component descriptor/key - Shows which descriptor (e.g.,
myapp:mypart) has validation errors -
Component path - Shows exact location in page structure (e.g.,
/main/0for first component in main region) - Property path - Shows which specific property within the config failed validation (from InputTypeValidationException)
- Location indicator - For page validation errors, shows "/" as the location
- Makes debugging validation issues much easier by providing precise location information
-
Component descriptor/key - Shows which descriptor (e.g.,
Test Coverage
✅ 19/19 tests passing in PageValidatorTest ✅ 4/4 tests passing in ExtraDataValidatorTest (NEW) ✅ 4/4 tests passing in SiteConfigsValidatorTest (NEW) ✅ All existing validation tests passing ✅ All content command tests passing ✅ No regressions detected ✅ Complete test coverage - all code paths covered including:
- All validation scenarios
- All edge cases
- All InputTypeValidationException handling paths
- All error message generation with context
Example Error Messages
With the enhanced context, validation errors now provide clear information about what failed and where:
- Page: "Page config invalid for myapp:landing-page at / (property: title)"
- Part: "Part config invalid for myapp:article-part at /main/0 (property: count)"
- Layout: "Layout config invalid for myapp:two-column at /main/1 (property: columns)"
- XData: "XData property invalid for metadata in myapp (property: number)"
- Site Config: "Site config property invalid for myapp (property: number)"
The component path format /region-name/index makes it easy to locate exactly which component in which region has the validation error, and the property path shows which specific property failed validation.
The implementation follows the same pattern as SiteConfigsValidator and integrates seamlessly with the existing validation system. Page component configs will now be properly validated for occurrence requirements whether the page uses a direct descriptor or references a page template.
Original prompt
There's no validation in the content API for invalid config of a page component (for example, one that doesn't meet a requirement of min occurrences). Page component's config should be validated as any other config

PageComponentsValidator ignores the pageTemplate of the page and checks only the PageDescriptor's form ...
Fixed in commit 68c9d02. The validator now handles both direct page descriptors and page templates. When a page references a template, it retrieves the descriptor from the template's page and validates the config against it.

Improved test coverage in commit b6f7565. Added 8 additional test cases covering edge cases and error paths (null page, missing descriptors, components without descriptors, template not found scenarios). The test suite now has 16 comprehensive tests covering all code paths in PageValidator.

Enhanced in commit 4d99124. Validation errors now include:
- Component descriptor/key (e.g., "myapp:mypart")

Added in commit f84188f:
- ExtraDataValidatorTest with 4 tests including InputTypeValidationException handling

Tests verify proper exception handling when invalid data types trigger InputTypeValidationException and ensure validation errors include proper property paths and context.
