Confused about how to keep form data on page

[Jin Lee <ji...@gmail.com>]

Hey all,

I have a form with 3 fields, all of which are required. The first two
are of type ValidField, and the third is of type DatePicker.

I'm not sure if there is a way to validate the date coming from
DatePicker using the .page file like the way ValidField works, so
instead I have this code in my submit listener:

    public void createASSR(IRequestCycle cycle) {
    	IValidationDelegate delegate =
(IValidationDelegate)getBeans().getBean("errorMsgs");
    	
    	//check the date received
    	if (getBServiceRequest().getDateReceived() == null) {
    		delegate.record("You must enter a value for Date Received", null);
    	}
    	if (delegate.getHasErrors()) {
    		return;
    	}
.
(other stuff)
.
    	}

Doing this works, except for one problem. If I input a date but
nothing in the other two required fields, the date becomes empty again
when the page reloads. The other validfields do not have this
behavior, instead the previous request values are reloaded.

How do I implement this correctly? Thanks,

Jin

AFAIK there is no way to do it because the DatePicker 
component accepts a Date object to render. If what the 
user inputs is an arbitrary string (not a Date), there 
is no way to let the DatePicker show that string again.
