Hi Tyler,

This really is wonderful initiative! I never would have thought to integrate it like this, but it's a brilliant idea!

I have a few remarks though, but I am already considering to integrate your sources with the core RIFE distribution since he using Ajax for doing validation seems to be the top most interesting application domain for it.

Ideally, all this should be able to be bundled into a jar file without having to add anything to the regular web directory. This can be done in several ways: either you integrate the whole of JQuery into the template when you modify it through the Ajax helper, either you add the capability to the validation elements to stream out JQuery.

Also, it would be better to just have to enable the form validation with one method call. The additional wrappers for the generation of the validation errors and markings, seems a bit too much for me and they might not properly integrate with an existing element. The reason for that is that you normally shouldn't generate the validation errors and markings manually. This is done automatically when people generate a form from a bean with generateForm.

What do you think of this?

Best regards,

Geert

I wrote up an AJAX Form Validation Framework for RIFE. The framework
uses your existing MetaData and ERRORS: / MARK: tags to build it's
responses, so the AJAX validation will look exactly like the standard
POST validation that RIFE uses. Thought some of you might find it
useful, so I posted the source code and a small article on how to use
it:

I'd appreciate any feedback or bugs you find.

Happy coding,
 Tyler
