I meant this:
<form>
<input type="text" name="name" value="$name">
<input type="text" name="city" value="$address.city">
<input type="text" name="zipcode" value="$address.zipcode">
<input type="text" name="country" value="$address.country">
</form>
UserForm () {
String name;
AddressForm address = new AddressForm();
}
AddressForm () {
String city;
String zipcode;
String country;
validate(...) {
// validate the address
}
}
UserAction () {
UserForm userForm = (UserForm) form;
ActionErrors errors = userForm.validate(); // Manually validate the data
}
When I call the validate method in my action to validate the userForm,
I would like it to validate the addressForm as well (with my custom
validate method).
Can I do something like this?
ActionErrors errors = userForm.validate(); // Validate the userForm
errors = userForm.address.validate(); // Validate the addressForm
So the errors variable would contains errors in userForm and addressForm.
Thanks,
Ben
