I agree, it is pretty bulky and complex and I'm not opposed to using the tapestry validator, however I haven't found much documentation on how to create custom tapestry-jquery validators.
The reason I chose to use the jQuery validator is for the following reasons, maybe you could tell me if this is possible using the tapestry version. 1. We are building a single form with extensive workflow. The form essentially remains the same with the exception of validation and user role. Field validation is completely dynamic from a db and determined based on the workflows current state. jQuery Validator allows me to validate a field based on the class .required. With that being said, I can use a script in after render to set all the required classes in the form. I'm not certain tapestry would enable me to do this. 2. Popup form. We have a serious of popup forms that request data. This data needs to be validated without form submission prior to updating a field within the main form. 3. Dynamic data validation, we need to validate a sum of fields equals 100%. 4. we also need to use an error box to handle some of the dynamic validation. 5. Validate visible fields only. Like I said, I'm not opposed to the built in version, I'm just not sure that it's capable of handling all this. If so, could you point me to some documentation, it would be greatly appreciated.
