Hi Everyone,
I'm just finishing my first tapestry (sub)project!! Woohoo! What a
learning experience.
I'd love to go back and pull apart the code, but this project isn't
mine to take home and pull apart, and I don't have time on-the-job to
do it because there's the next project already in the pipeline.
I spent a little long on input validation this afternoon - I left a
test value maxlength=10 in some of the input fields, where it should
have been increased to something much higher.
The application had a create, edit, delete and clone objects
functionality. So you could imagine, I've created some fields with
>10 characters and gone to edit/clone them to a new object then found
I can't save them because input validation failed!!
I found this gem on the tapestry/guide/validation.html page:
Validation constraints can also be specified in the properties file of
the containing page or component. The key takes the form propertyId-
validate. For example: username-validate=required,minlength=6.
It's something I'll probably look at getting used to. Is there a
"global" way of configuring validation? e.g. all strings within forms
will be required and they'll need to be between 5 and 10 characters.
Just asking...
Is there a difference between @Validate and t:validate in the tml? Do
both methods create the javascript unFocus pop up?
Cheers
Chris
