StringValidator.maximumLength should automatically add maxlength html attribute
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WICKET-1310
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WICKET-1310
Project: Wicket
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Ryan Sonnek
Priority: Minor
Validating max length of strings should not require a round trip to the server.
adding the html attribute to forms will prevent data entry on the client side.
I'm manually doing this as part of the wicketstuff-hibernate project, but it
would be great to just have this built into wicket.
http://wicket-stuff.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wicket-stuff/trunk/wicketstuff-hibernate-behavior/src/main/java/org/wicketstuff/hibernate/annotation/HibernateAnnotationComponentConfigurator.java?view=markup
I understand that currently validators can be used independently of Wicket and
don't know about components or behaviors, but i'm recommending this be changed.
Wicket is a *web framework*, not a *validation library*. If i want a portable
validation library, I'll use commons-validation, not wicket. So, the
validators should be *web validators* and be able to modify components or
render custom javascript to help with web validation.
FYI: tapestry does it! =)
