Cforms do not save after binding.

[Kamal Bhatt <kb...@tt.com.au>]

Hi
I have a CForm that binds to a java object. If there are no validation 
errors (ie the continuation is not called) then the form saves 
correctly. However, if there was a validation error, you fix the error 
and you try and save again, the form does not bind correctly (form.save 
fails). Instead, it returns null.

What is the likely cause of this?

Due to the sheer amount of source code associated with this stuff, I 
will provide source on request. No point in adding a truck load of code 
for no reason.

Cheers.

The values in the fields of the object being bound. Eg., I have a get 
function called "getBrandField". When I run this before the save, it 
returns a value, after the value, it returns nulll.

So am I.

When you say "it returns null", what exactly is null?  The new values in 
the object you're saving to?  The return value of the Form.save() method 
call?

Yes you can pass view data as the second argument to Form.showForm; this 
is a very common use case so I'm surprised you're seeing issues.

OK, worked out what was failing, now, I need to understand why.

On my form.showForm, I would pass in some work data. When I removed this 
data, it stopped being a problem. It was being spit out on the form as a 
hidden input, but it wasn't really being used. I thought you could pass 
variables into showForm. If that is the case, what is wrong with what I did?
