Yes, you can also push the state instead of pulling it, which besides is preferrable in terms of efficiency (as onConfigure() is only called once per request whereas isVisible() is potentially called many time):
TextField<String> textField = new TextField<String>("textField") { @Override protected void onConfigure() { super.onConfigure(); setVisible(condition); } }; You can also call textField.setVisible(...) in the Page's or Panel's onConfigure(), but then you need a reference to the textField (property of the page or panel). Or - if possible - you can group your FormComponents into a WebMarkupContainer an set the visibility there. -Tom On 05.06.2012 at 16:51 Bob Schlärmann wrote: > Hello, > > A question about form processing: is it possible to do conditional form > validation without overriding FormComponent#isRequired? > > I have a form with about 5 different form components (e.g. textfields, > dropdown, radiobutton).
