Hmmm... Group doesn't seem to be defined as a element type for the
Submission .. but it is on the bean element,
<bean classname="com.zeitgeist.nela.model.Account"
group="ContactInfo"/>
which works. Thanks!
So the rundown (so others can find it in the list, and I'll add it to
the wiki later) is as follows:
To work with a bean whose data will be filled in by several different
forms:
1) Define different constraint groups (either in your model bean or
in a separate MetaData class) for each collection of member
variables that will be processed by the different forms.
2) Define the constraint group in the submission portion of your
form's element as part of the submission's bean declaration, e.g.:
<element id="ContactInfo"
implementation="path.to.FormHandlerClass" >
<submission name="update" >
<bean classname="path.to.your.model.Account"
group="ContactInfo"/>
</submission>
</element>
which narrows the submission's scope down to fields validated by
this one group of constraints
3) In the class that processes the form, set the focus of the
validation onto the constraint group you declared in
the element declaration, and use the version of
fillSubmissionBean that takes a submission name param which will tell
RIFE which parameters from the form are of interest and to be
filled in to the bean instance while leaving any others unchanged.
E.g.:
public void doUpdate() {
account.focusGroup("ContactInfo");
fillSubmissionBean("update", account);
if (account.validateGroup("ContactInfo")) { // good!
account.setModification_dt(new java.util.Date());
int result = accountQM.update(account);
template.clear();
account.resetValidation();
print(template);
} else { // bad. if at first you don't succeeed...
processElement();
}
}
I think that should be reasonably complete...

Give it the submission name:
http://rifers.org/docs/api/com/uwyn/rife/engine/
ElementSupport.html#fillSubmissionBean(java.lang.String,%
20java.lang.Object)
and add the group to the submission declaration:
<submission name="blah" group="grp">
Hope this helps,

Hi Geert,
My constraint groups were indeed checking the values properly, the
form was getting marked up correctly, the only difference was the
use of the focusgroup() method, which didn't seem to make a
difference ... when fillSumbmissionBean() executes, it still takes
out the existing data...

Obviously I am not grokking something...

Hi David,
You need to use constraint groups:
http://rifers.org/wiki/display/RIFE/Validation#Validation-3
Then, when you setup the submission, you can provide the name of
the group. Only the data in that group will be filled in and/or
blanked.
Hope this helps,
Geert

Ran into an interesting problem this evening, not sure how to
get around it:
As part of my registration process users have to give me a
certain set of information, such as email address, a password,
and their full name,
Given these pieces of info, they can register and access the
system. However there is a lot more in my "Account" bean that
isn't necessary to
register, but might be useful for them to fill in later for use
in larger aspects of the system (address, phone #, billing info
for enhanced services, etc)
The validation is done in two different validation groups, one
for the info required at registration time, the other to handle
the user profile member variables.
when I made a form (the "user profile") to deal with setting
the rest of the data, I can read the Account bean back in and
all the data originally set there when the
user registered is there; however, once the user fills in the
User Profile form (address, etc) the existing data in the bean
gets wiped after the fillSubmissionBean()
call and only the "new" data is in the bean.
is there something that needs to be set to keep the existing
data in the bean...?
