Form validation
Hi,
On validating form input, does Tapestry check/record all fields
associated with a validator or does it stop at the first one?
The reason I ask is that I'd like to have some way to display the error
message for all fields instead of just the first.
Is this possible?
TIA,
John

That is the default behavior of the ValidField component. When there is
a validation exception, it logs the error in the delegate and simply
returns (does not throw an exception). So all messages are collected in
the delegate at the end the cycle.

Thanks. Got it working for each field as suggested.
Another quick question if I may: Is it possible to discover if a
ValidField component isRequired() from writeLabelPrefix()?

The examples explicitly display just the first error, but the validation delegate tracks all errors.
My bias is to display just the first error, but mark all fields in error.
With minimal effort, you could put the error for each field next to the field as well. The
validation delegate has all the rendering hooks needed to accomplish this.
