How to specify a validator for an input component inside a composite component?

Question

Should I register a custom validator in faces-config.xml if I\'m using JSF 2.0.4? My custom validator uses Validator interface which is javax.faces.valida

If you are working with JSF 2, I don't think you need to touch the faces-config.xml file to create a customer Validator. You can simply use the annotation @FacesValidator to declare a Validator. It should be something like this:

    public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) throws ValidatorException {
        // Your logic
    }

}
