Hi, Bill,
One additional minor tweak I might suggest is to return context().page
() rather than null to redisplay the current page.
The invokeAction() method traverses the page template object graph
looking for some dynamic element to respond with a non-null value. It
stops traversing as soon as it gets such a return.
If your action method returns null, invokeAction will have to
traverse the entire object graph before it knows that every element
has returned null so it can return the current page as the default.
Regards,
Jerry

Galen,
I considered javascript first – thinking it would make things
simpler, but
as it turns out I LOVE the idea of overriding
validationFailedWithException() - it works wonderfully! (simply)
If the format of the value entered isn’t exactly parsable as m/%d/%
y, then
it fails, I catch it, I do 'stuff' and return null (same component)
displaying their mistake. It's brilliant and I love it! I do like
the
jscript below however, and will be cannibalizing it for other
purposes ;-)
(hope you don't mind).
Elated, -Bill

Is Javascript an option? What about binding javascript event
handlers to
force them to enter only a properly formatted string. Given an
input field
defined in HTML like this:
<input type=text size=12 maxlength=12 onblur="handleDateBlur(this)"
onfocus="handleDateFocus(this)" onkeypress="handleDateKeypress
(event, this)">
And Javascript like so...
