onSubmit method and validators

[Henrique <qu...@gmail.com>]

Hello, I have a simple form with some RequiredTextFields.

When the user leaves some of them blank, the corresponding messages
show up in the feedback panel telling them they are required.
The issue I am having is that once this happens, the onSubmit() method
is no longer called and wicket starts calling the onError() method.
Since my business logic is inside the onSubmit() method, it never gets called.

How can I work around this issue? A not so elegant solution was to
manually call the onSubmit method inside the onError method, but this
erases the entire form's components with what the user had typed in.

Thanks!

Which is as expected: You usually do not want to process a form that fails validation.

What business logic do you want to run on invalid form data? Try looking into running that code in some of the other lifecycle-oriented methods like onBeforeRender() or the like.
