On reading some material, it explains that when a Button is within a Form, the Buttons onSubmit should be called before the Forms onSubmit. (if not configured otherwise). Which makes perfect sense.
However; when I add "AjaxButton" to the Form, and have it within the Form. I see the order of calling reversed by default implementation. As I interrogated, it is how the code is written in AjaxFormSubmitBehavior". Notice: getForm().getRootForm().onFormSubmitted() called before onSubmit(target); -- See code pasted from that class below. being a pure Ajax call the form is never actually submitted to it allows it to carry on to the onSubmit(target);. The question is, why is there a reverse in the concept? Is it because "target" is loosely associated with Any target and we dont care if it belongs to the form and hence is a third grade citizen? (hence comes after the main forms onSumit()) ? ; that makes sense imo thinking aloud. (since method is not final I dont think this will ever be an issue but I just want to confirm the thought process) /** * * @see org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxEventBehavior#onEvent(org.apache.wicket.ajax.AjaxRequestTarget) */ @Override protected void onEvent(AjaxRequestTarget target) { getForm().getRootForm().onFormSubmitted(); if (!getForm().isSubmitted()) { // only process the form submission if the form was actually submitted -> needs to be // enabled and visible return; } if (!getForm().hasError()) { onSubmit(target); } if (getForm().findParent(Page.class) != null) { /* * there can be cases when a form is replaced with another component in the onsubmit() * handler of this behavior. in that case form no longer has a page and so calling * .hasError on it will cause an exception, thus the check above. */ if (getForm().hasError()) { onError(target); } } } Thanks -- View this message in context: http://apache-wicket.1842946.n4.nabble.com/onSubmit-sequence-call-with-AjaxFormSubmitBehavior-tp3061241p3061241.html Sent from the Users forum mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@wicket.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@wicket.apache.org
