How to handle optional valid fields????
I have a typical checkout page set up with a group of valid fields for the billing address and the shipping address. I want to be able to let the user check "ship to billing address" and have the shipping address fields ignored , however I cannot think of an elegant way to get the ValidationDelegate to ignore the shipping address fields even if there is an error in them. The best way would be to have two validationdelegates but I don't believe that is possible in the same form.
How can I accomplish this in an elegant way?

Yeah, I thought of that but like you said its not very elegent. The ideal would be to have the ability to specifify validationdelegate groups of some sort, maybe via an encapsulating component.

If the shipping-address fields must have validators, you can certainly
have multiple validators even though there will be only one
validationDelegate for the form.
But it sounds like those fields should simply not specify a validator,
that is, they're not required fields. If they're required *part* of the
time (like when the box isn't checked), you'd need a bit of code in your
formSubmit() method to check for non-null inputs in that case.
If all else fails, you can write custom code in your formSubmit() to
walk through the list of errors (with
validationDelegate.getFieldTracking()) and ignore the ones from the
shipping fields. Wouldn't be elegant though.
