That's what I was afraid of. I have to create my own decorator. The existing decorators I've seen (like validate) look rather complex (or even scary :) The problem is that I can build schema only when I already have a business object which I display form for. In my original application I get an object plus some metadata for validation from the model and pass everything to the template engine which generates the form, the validation logic resides in the controller. My initial goal was to have the form and the schema generated in one place and get rid of my own validation logic in favour of TG's validate. But taking into account that I have to write my own decorator and some callable for schema generation, looks like there is no point in using htmlfill_schemabuilder anymore. > Yeah, I was not envisioning the template engine creating the schema. > I was envisioning that the template engine would use a schema that is > passed in.
