Guys,
My intent is following:
Some form components should be shown or hiden dynamically according to
entered information and(!!!) without touching underling models. Whole form
content should be refreshed.
To achive that I use following approach:
1) AjaxFormSubmitBehavior with event="change" to recieve form on server side
2) With the aid of FormComponent.hasRawInput() I can understand where to
get actual value for the component: either by
convertInput()->getConvertedInput() or directly from a model.
3) [HACK] if value should be taken from form component with the aid of
reflection I'm invoking convertInput()
Method convertInputMethod =
FormComponent.class.getDeclaredMethod("convertInput");
convertInputMethod.setAccessible(true);
convertInputMethod.invoke(formComponent);
I can't use "validate" because there are some validators on a components
and they should be fired after actual data submition.
Currently, whole that stack is working perfectly as expected. But that
little hack is confusing me a bit:)
P.S. Sorry for sending that in parallel: can't subscribe for
