Thanks Rick for the response.
My first issue Rick is that my validate function in the form is not getting
called at all.
I have simply put a "System.out.println" statement there to verify that it
is getting called.
What you have given is definitely useful for me in the second step :-) But I
need to get the first step correct... that is to make sure my validate
function is being called in addition to validation.xml rules.
Could you help me with that?
Thanks.
