Disable form validation based on which submit button used?
Is there any way to enable/disable form validation based on which submit
button I use? My page displays surveys, which are essentially rows of
radiogroups and corresponding radios displayed in table like fashion. There
are two buttons on the page, one called "Finish" that saves all the answers
on the page and finalizes the survey so no further editing will occur. The
other button is "Save and Exit" which just saves the current set of answers,
so even if a radiogroup has no answer I still want to update my model. In
one case with "Finish" I want to validate all radiogroups have an answer by
using setRequired(true), while on the flip side with "Save and Exit" I don't
need that validation.
I thought of using setDefaultFormProcessing(false) on the "Save and Exit"
button and then manually populating the form model but Wicket ties model
populating to validation. The updateModel() call in FormComponent simply
calls getConvertedInput() to populate the model object. ConvertedInput is
assigned its value during validate().
Only solution I can think of is to subclass RadioGroup and override
updateModel() to convert the input and then set the model object. If there
is a cleaner or better way to do this please let me know.

Ok, found a way to do what I want.
Both buttons for my form do setDefaultFormProcessing(false)
I subclass Form and add a boolean attribute called bypassValidation with the
appropriate getters and setters. I also override process() with my own
method that duplicates the original method, except the if clause is now if
(hasError() && bypassValidation==false)
In the OnSubmit() methods for my Buttons get the form and set the the
bypassValidation attribute. Now I call process() and let the form update my
model. Finally for the "Save and Exit" button I clear the FeedbackMessages
since it still gets populated with any validation errors.
At this point the form and model are at the same state I would get from the
the normal validation process.

Two problems
1. updateFormComponentModels() is a protected method.
2. Without calling validate() first, updateFormComponentModels() updates the
model with null values. The actual process of taking values from the html
form and converting them into Java objects happens inside validate() call.

Re: Disable form validation based on which submit button used?

In each onSubmit button method, you call what you want, but don't forget to
setDefaultFormProcessing(false) on them. This way, no validation is made nor
models are updated. You have to control yourself inside onSubmit.
Call form.updateFormComponentModels(); (something like that)
To "Save & Exit"
And for the Finish button, call validate(); and _after_ the
updateFormComponentModels...
I think this is it. :)
give it a shot
