Hi all, I'm trying to create the following feature with Tapestry 4.1.5: I want to check an input text field on the fly, while a user is typing. I'm using an ajax call (with the @EnventHandler annotation) to check the input string in the background without reloading the page. The event handler method checks if the string already exists in the database and sets an error message if it does.
So far, everything is working fine. Now the problem is that the string should also be a valid e-mail address. For the final form submit, client side validation is working, but (as the tapestry web site states) "as an added bonus, form validation is turned off by default with the EventListener<http://tapestry.apache.org/tapestry4.1/tapestry-annotations/index.html#EventListener>annotation". Now my question is, whether there is any way to access the EmailValidator manually from within the event handler method. I appreciate your help! Nils
