------- Additional Comments From paul_benedict@merck.com 2004-12-02 19:47 -------
This is not an enhancement, but a bug. I am running into this problem today, and
the best patch available is from comment #1, which is placing this code after
retrieving the field:
if (field == null) {
continue;
}
To answer comment #7: When fields are not required, there should not be a
penalty if the field is absent. All server-side validation works under this
premesis. For example, when the "maxlength" validation is specified for a form
property, but the field is absent in the submission, the validation is not
applied. Thus, the implication is that it is acceptable for non-required fields
to be absent.
So to "push it deeper -- down into validation.xml as a <field> optional
attribute" is not needed. By definition, fields without the "required"
validation are optional.
However, today's JavaScript validation is deficient and a penalty occurs for
non-required fields. The JavaScript blindly tries to access properties for
fields that may not exist. This penalty needs to be removed to match expectations.
I am willing to work on this if no one else is.
