validate() returns a boolean and the program logic branches on that. For example, in Mach II you might use a filter to run validate() and then abort the current event (and announce a new one) if the bean is not valid. > However, if there are errors, why go to the trouble of storing the data > in a bean, then validate it when you could validate it before storing it > in the bean?

Because you might want to repopulate a form from the bean. -- Sean A Corfield -- http://www.corfield.org/ Team Fusebox -- http://www.fusebox.org/ Breeze Me! -- http://www.corfield.org/breezeme Got Gmail? -- I have 1 invite "If you're not annoying somebody, you're not really alive." -- Margaret Atwood ---------------------------------------------------------- You are subscribed to cfcdev.
