Yeah you need to validate the input first before passing it through Converter.
Check if you need a custom validator in the first place. There are quite a few that ships with Wicket. I had to validate the phone number that i was accepting as an input and i used wicket.markup.html.form.validation.PatternValidator for that. All FormComponent-s accept a validator through add(IValidator v) method.All html components inherit from it. If you want to write your own , you can extend wicket.markup.html.form.validation.StringValidator and provide implementation for abstract onValidate(FormComponent formComponent, String value) method and attach it to the html form component. Wicket will call the validator during form submit. regs, karthik On 1/15/06, David Leangen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm using IConverter as explained on the following wiki page: > > http://www.wicket-wiki.org.uk/wiki/index.php/Using_custom_converters > > > It is a very elegant way of translating between a domain object and its > representation on a web page.
