So I was converting my view pages to use velocity instead of WW's tag library, and I just started on my form pages. I was replacing the WW custom form tags with standard html form markup. I soon realized that the handy error handling logic that puts the error message next to the control with the error goes away when I convert to html form tags.
Is this supposed to happen? The WW form doc says that you can mix and match WW form tags with standard form tags...
Yep. The WW form tags contain a bunch of built in behavior that developers may not wish to use. So WW provides a bunch of alternate ways to generate forms:
* Use the provided WW tags. WW1 stores the templates for these tags in /template/xhtml in your webapp directory. WW2 stores these templates in /decorators/xhtml in your classpath.
* Create a template. You can modify these or create your own templates using the template attribute. You can even create your own theme (a set of templates) customized to the needs of your app. See the following link for definitions of template and theme.

* Use html form tags. However, at this level, you're required to provide all the functionality yourself.
