Hi Bart,
It is a law thing. The user needs to agree before he may continue in the flow. So I wanted to validate the form and look if the check box was checked if not set an validate error message. The problem is that in the validate method of the form the boolean field always false is. Now I have to use a while loop in the flow script that checks the boolean field. I don't think this isn't the way it is supposed to be.
greetings patrick

Hi Patrick,
What do you want to validate about a boolean field?
A boolean field can only contain valid values. It's value, either true
or false, are always valid values for a boolean. So it returns always
true. See this code snippet from BooleanField.java:
/**
* Always return <code>true</code> (an action has no validation)
* * TODO is there a use case for boolean fields having validators?
*/
public boolean validate() {
// a boolean field is always valid
return true;
}
But maybe I don't understand your question. Bart.

Hi,
How do you validate a boolean field?
I tried to use my own validate method on the complete form but the boolean field keeps sending me a false. It doesn't mater if I select or deselect the check box the thing keeps giving me a false.
I now created a not so elegant solution over a hidden field and a on-value-change but there must be a better solution.
Greetings Patrick
