DatePicker and Validation

[Rick Austin <ri...@rickaustin.net>]

I've used the DatePicker and I've also used a ValidField that uses a
org.apache.tapestry.valid.DateValidator. I would prefer to use the
DatePicker but I would also like to use a date validator on the text
field portion of the component in case the user enters a value rather
than use the DatePicker. I think I understand how I can get the same
effect by validating the dates in my form's listener method but I wanted
to check to see if someone has done this before I start working on it.
 
Thanks.
