I am attempting my first go at the new Tapestry validation and seem to have run into a problem. The vast majority of the pages in my app have listeners that return a valid ILink, instead of a void signature. According to the tapestry docs, this is to do a redirect after submit, which is what I want (the users insist upon the redirect-after-post pattern, to avoid browser refresh issues).
The problem is, if there's a validation error, it won't get caught when returning an ILink. My listener ends up processing as if nothing was wrong when there's a validation error. If I replace my listener code with a simple "return null;", then if there's a validation error, it will be marked appropriately. Is there a way built into the validation framework to handle it? Though I may be missing something (and I've checked all of the docs I could find) It seems like it doesn't work when a listener returns ILink. Because of popularity of the redirect-after-post pattern, I would imagine that this would not be an "edge" case. Maybe there's some kind of usage of delegates or listeners or something that I'm missing? Thanks, Drew
