Yeah I was sort of wondering the same thing, and in particular, how do I get validation messages to render via ajax -- that is, i wat the form to go through the normal validation routine and I dont want to enable client side validation. I actually kind of like the red stars and custom decorators the validation classes afford you...
i remember in tacos there was an example of employing the validators (ie, led red asterisks appeared via ajax), is this possible in tapestry 4.1 without some weird kludge? I read in the docs that the default is to disable validation when using submitForm -- since most of the use cases would make incurring the validation lifecycle cumbersome to the user. Thats the default, which implies it can be toggled... can it, and if so, how? ;-) Thanks, Josh On 8/2/06, Denis Souza <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi, I was looking at the new Tapestry 4.1 ajax features. EventListener/ResponseBuilder are really nice! Besides the new annotations I noticed some components (such as DirectLink) already have the Tacos ajax functionality built in which allows you to update a certain part of the page ("updateComponents" parameter), however I didn't find the same functionality for the forms and submit buttons. I tried using an EventListener/ResponseBuilder combination (listening for onClick and onSubmit) to try and get the same result but whenever I click on a submit button the form is submitted the traditional way, the entire page is reloaded. I'm guessing this could be solved by replacing the submit buttons with regular links and having the form submitted on the EventListener, but it just doesn't feel right not to use submit buttons where they are needed. Is there a new way to do this (maybe using the annotations) or is the ajax form submit functionality just not implemented yet? Cheers Denis Souza
