tapestry validation queries?

[Chris Mylonas <ch...@mrvoip.com.au>]

Hi Everyone,

I'm just finishing my first tapestry (sub)project!! Woohoo!  What a  
learning experience.
I'd love to go back and pull apart the code, but this project isn't  
mine to take home and pull apart, and I don't have time on-the-job to  
do it because there's the next project already in the pipeline.

I spent a little long on input validation this afternoon - I left a  
test value maxlength=10 in some of the input fields, where it should  
have been increased to something much higher.

The application had a create, edit, delete and clone objects  
functionality.   So you could imagine, I've created some fields with  
 >10 characters and gone to edit/clone them to a new object then found  
I can't save them because input validation failed!!

I found this gem on the tapestry/guide/validation.html page:

Validation constraints can also be specified in the properties file of  
the containing page or component. The key takes the form propertyId- 
validate. For example: username-validate=required,minlength=6.

It's something I'll probably look at getting used to.  Is there a  
"global" way of configuring validation?  e.g. all strings within forms  
will be required and they'll need to be between 5 and 10 characters.   
Just asking...

Is there a difference between @Validate and t:validate in the tml?  Do  
both methods create the javascript unFocus pop up?


Cheers
Chris

To the second question see the property clientValidation from form [0].
But the other issues I will leave for the more experienced.
