Hi Marcus I read the Tap4.1 documentation and ultimately we'll move up to that release. The project I am on now is simply to see how viable Tacos is to use.
Even after reading the documentation, I still could not see (whether on 4.0 or 4.1) how to get the more detailed validation of Tacos forms to work. The one way (with profiles) i imagine would involve writing a js profile for every form and having the form know about every field in every component on it that requires validation. That said, I'm still not sure how I would then get the server side validation to work in a similar way to the Validators of 4.0. The way I got around the problem in the end was changing the custom Validators and Translators that we have, to declare their own methods independently of the Tapestry JSON (I assume it's a JSON) that gets put on the page. I wrote the js functions into the JSON originally because the built in validators and translators of Tapestry (like Number and Min) did it this way. As soon as the tacos validation.js showed up, the Tapesry JSON disappears. Well, the whole JSON didn't disappear because the Required field validator was still there. Anyway, having validation js methods that aren't on the Tapestry JSON worked. When the Ajax form arrived and took with it the built in Number and Min validators, I went and made custom ones of those too just so that I could have number and min validation. But this seemed like a very overkill way of doing it. But because of the sheer number of components on the form that required the number and min validation (along with my deadline) this was the only option for me. Still, if there is anyone who has an example of an Ajax form doing validation of numbers, email addresses or min value fields I would very much appreciate a link to it. I am very keen to learn more about this because the framework seems to be very good, it's just the lack of examples that I am struggling with.
