[Cocoon forms] interaction between definition validation and flow
validator
Hi cocooners !
I asked a question yesterday, that is maybe not clear, so let me explain cleaner.
Cocoon forms offers 2 ways of validating a form : definition validation (with
<wd:validation> in the form def file) and in the flow with the validator property of the
flow form object.
And how can I combine the 2, if it's possible ? I would like to use the definition
validation pour simple validations like required fields or min/max, and the flow
validation in addition, for more complex things like unique values control in repeaters,
or business actions...
My flow validator function begins with :
<code>
if (!form.getWidget().isValid()) {
return false;
}
</code>
But even when the form seems to be valid, isValid() returns false, and I can never run
"business validation" code after the test...
I'm using 2.1.2 version of cocoon.
Thanks,
--

Hi Markus,
Thanks for your answer.
I also used
form.validator = myValidator;
But I don't want to do business stuff if the basic definition validation doesn't work
I have :
function myValidator(form) {
if (!form.getWidget().isValid()) {
cocoon.request.setAttribute("formulaire", form.getWidget());
return false;
}
-- some business stuff --
}
but when the form seems to be valid (and all required fields are present) from its
definition validations, isValid() still returns false, and the business stuff is not executed.
My present validator code tests all fields values against the null value to see if
definition validation passed successfully, but that's not very clean...

Hi Tim !
Thanks for your answer.
It seems that all my required fields are present, excepts a repeater (that is not required
if such attribute is valid for a repeater) because there is no rows in.
And the isValid() returns false...
argh !

Usually this is caused by the form template not including a widget which is marked
with 'required="true"'. Because the widget is not in the template, it is not returned
in the form post, and thus is set to null during readFromRequest() causing the form
(at least the visible parts that were included in the template) to look valid while
there is actually still an invalid widget.
HTH,

Posted by Markus Heussen <he...@rheinland-online.com>.
Hi!
I use
form.validator = myValidator;
placed before
form.showForm("form.display");
and in my validator function something like this
function myValidator(form) {
var validationError = new
Packages.org.apache.cocoon.woody.datatype.ValidationError("xxx");
if (!isDate(form.getWidget("vn_geburtsdatum").getValue(),"dd.MM.yyyy")) {
form.getWidget("vn_geburtsdatum").setValidationError(validationError);
return false;
}
return true;
}
and this works fine for me. Only if all validations (in descriptor file and
my flow validator function) give true the form is no more redisplayed.
