In that case, I don't see the advantage of client-side validations. The
server-side validations are the *real* validations in any case.
Unfortunately, JSF does not have built-in support on the validation
framework for mirroring it on the client side. Of course people are
working to change that, but I have yet to see any compelling solutions.
I feel like AJAX and client-side validations are in the same category.
If one is a wasteful effort, then the other probably is too.
Going back to your original scenario, it is possible to validate that
new address on the server side, without validating the rest of the form.
This can be accomplished with s:subForm and/or Ajax. What exactly
happens when you try the subForm?

Hi Jeff,
Which component are you referring to for client side validations?
Partial submits - Yes that can be done.

I wanted to keep that to the minimum. So Ajax is always my last resort
as the web app we are developing is going to target varied sets of users
most of whom are not internet savvy.

Madhav,
Try using some AJAX for partial submits and client-side validation. :)

Hi All,
MyForm:
Mandatory fields on the form:
1. Last Name
2. First Name
3. Gender
4. email
There is a section on the page where the user needs to provide
address
information. Mandatory fields in that section are:
1. address type
2. address line 1
3. state
4. zip
5. city
Address section has the following buttons - "Add Address", "Reset"
"Delete"
Page level buttons are: "Proceed", "Cancel"
When the user has entered all the information then the user will
click
on the proceed button. However, the user can first enter the address
information and click "Add address" and then enter a list of other
addresses similary. The problem is that when the user clicks "Add
address" form is submitted and all the fields which are assigned a
validator are validated. So even if the "proceed" button is not
clicked
fields like "last name", "first name" etc will be validated and will
therefore throw error messages on the screen.
I want to partially validate a page based on which button is
clicked.
How can you do that with the client side validators that you have
created.
Currently I am using struts client validator with Myfaces but this
framework does not solve the above mentioned problem.
Googling a bit I found the following:
1. http://shale.apache.org/shale-validator/index.html
2.
http://jsf-comp.sourceforge.net/components/clientvalidators/index.html
I am wondering will any one them solve the problem that I am facing
above.
