Hi,
To keep all your validation in onValidateForm, I something like this.
String onValidateForm()
{
if(userName == null )
{
form.recordError(usernameField, "Needs a Username")
}
if(password == null )
{
form.recordError(passwordField, "Please Enter a password")
}
if(!form.getHasErrors()) {
if (!authenticator.isValid(userName, password))
{
form.recordError(passwordField, "Invalid user name or
password.");
}
else
{
//set applicationstate user object
}
}
}
Object onSuccess()
{
//here you can return whatever page you forward after login.
return IndexPage;
}
