I think it is a bad idea to generate the control name in the your code. The way the control name is generated might be changed in the uture.
If you "collect" the dummy fields for onTimes and offTimes first in onValidateFromOnTime and onValidateFromOffTime methods, then do the cross validations in onValidateFromForm method, it should work with a single TimeTableEntry component. The following example illustrates "collecting" the dummy fields first in onValidateFromEntry, then do the cross validation in onValidateForm method. http://lombok.demon.co.uk /tapestry5Demo/test/crossvalidation2 Shing ----- Original Message ----- From: John <j...@quivinco.com> To: Shing Hing Man <mat...@yahoo.com>; Tapestry users <users@tapestry.apache.org> Cc: Sent: Thursday, February 7, 2013 8:12 AM Subject: Re: how to recordError against a form field in a loop That was useful although my implementation is like this: int loopi = 0; for (TimetableEntry entry : timetableEntryFlash) { String loopex = loopi == 0 ? "" : ("_" + (loopi - 1)); if (entry.getOnTime1() == null && entry.getOffTime1() != null) { DummyField dField = new DummyField("fmtOnTime1" + loopex); timetableForm.recordError(dField, "missing on time"); } loopi++; } so that I can validate data across rows as field pairs rather than as individual fields. I suspect at this point my time pairs should be a distinct component?
