I have a Form object whose only child is an AjaxSubmitLink. The Form's onSubmit() calls to a service to delete its model object (from the underlying database). I would like to add validation to make sure that the model can be deleted (i.e. there are no foreign keys referencing it) before attempting to do it. I thought I could achieve this with an AbstractFormValidator, but if I detect the error in the validate() method, all of the error methods on AbstractFormValidator expect a FormComponent, which I don't have.
What is the best way to accomplish validating a Form that does not have a FormComponent?
