Turn off validation for some form submissions?

[Nicholas Lesiecki <nl...@vmsinfo.com>]

Hi,

 

I have a number of components on my page, including custom components that
let you run a search on a database list in order to select a property. The
search is accomplished by a listener method on a submit component that's
part of my custom component. Since the form won't be complete until the user
has picked several selections from these search boxes, I'd like to suspend
validation on the other components of the form until the final, "real" form
submission (when the user indicates that they'd like their changes saved).
Does Tapestry offer any way of accomplishing this other than writing all the
validation checks manually in the form's submit handler?

 

Cheers,

Nick
