Re: AW: [Cocoon forms] interaction between definition validation and flow validator

[Olivier Billard]

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your answer.

I also used
    form.validator = myValidator;
But I don't want to do business stuff if the basic definition validation doesn't work
I have :

function myValidator(form) {
    if (!form.getWidget().isValid()) {
        cocoon.request.setAttribute("formulaire", form.getWidget());
        return false;
    }
    -- some business stuff --
}
but when the form seems to be valid (and all required fields are present) from its 
definition validations, isValid() still returns false, and the business stuff is not executed.

My present validator code tests all fields values against the null value to see if 
definition validation passed successfully, but that's not very clean...

Hi!

I use

placed before

form.showForm("form.display");

and in my validator function something like this

function myValidator(form) {
        var validationError = new
Packages.org.apache.cocoon.woody.datatype.ValidationError("xxx");
        if (!isDate(form.getWidget("vn_geburtsdatum").getValue(),"dd.MM.yyyy")) {
                form.getWidget("vn_geburtsdatum").setValidationError(validationError);
                return false;
        }
        return true;
}
and this works fine for me. Only if all validations (in descriptor file and
my flow validator function) give true the form is no more redisplayed.
Regards, Markus

Betreff: [Cocoon forms] interaction between definition validation and
flow validator
Hi cocooners !

I asked a question yesterday, that is maybe not clear, so let me
explain cleaner.
Cocoon forms offers 2 ways of validating a form : definition
validation (with
<wd:validation> in the form def file) and in the flow with the
validator property of the
flow form object.
And how can I combine the 2, if it's possible ? I would like to
use the definition
validation pour simple validations like required fields or
min/max, and the flow
validation in addition, for more complex things like unique
values control in repeaters,
or business actions...
My flow validator function begins with :
<code>
if (!form.getWidget().isValid()) {
    return false;
}
</code>
But even when the form seems to be valid, isValid() returns
false, and I can never run
"business validation" code after the test...
I'm using 2.1.2 version of cocoon.

Thanks,
