Xpages xp:customValidator: do I need to create a separate bean for each customValidator?

So far I only had to build a single java customValidator in my applications. In a current project I'm now facing the necessity to have multiple customValidators I need to register with the application.

Since I can only have one validate method inside my bean the question arises whether I need to build separate objects for each validation option. Or is there a way to have one common bean containing all the needed validators? But then, what would that look like?

If you are working with a managed bean, you can define your own methods for your validation. The method must have three parameters and return void:

public void validateDemo( FacesContext fc, UIComponent uiCmp, Object toValidate ){
   throw new ValidationException( new FacesMessage("Validation error.") );
}

In the XPage you can now use this method in your UIComponent:

<xp:inputText
    id="myText"
    validator="#{myBean.validateDemo}" />

You can have as many validating methods as you want.
