It would be nice for example, if the WOTextField did not attempt to set its value to null when it notices that its elementID is not included in the form keys submitted in the request. Then this partial form submit would just work.

IIRC, Mike said that he had problems with partial submits in the Wonder code too.
Yeah, you have to wrap all of the WO input components and manually make them ignore takeValuesFromRequest if its key is not in the request. The problem here is that WOCheckBox has to work this way, so it will never work quite right for checkboxes without doing a bunch of trickery. You could make a custom checkbox with a hidden field + javascript to turn the checkbox into a hidden "1" or "0", I guess.

Thanks Mike. That's exactly what I'm doing (subclassing the WO input elements). I haven't tested check boxes yet though.

By the way Chuck., your book Practical WebObjects (chapter 6 / 7) has been invaluable for all of this. Any other book plans, for for Eclipse/WOLips and WO5.4.x ? :-)

Thank you, I am happy to hear that you find it useful. We would like to write another book, but we are just too busy at work at the moment. I could never write a book on WOLips unless we sedate Mike for a year. At the rate he adds things, it would be totally out of date before it was printed. :-)


Your book mentions web scarab which is interesting but I normally use FireFox with FireBug which is pretty nice to see what goes back and forth between my application and the browser.

I don't think there was a FireBug when we wrote that. I now use FireBug for most client side debugging.
