Thanks. It seems I overlooked the findParent method... But I have another question. Is it a good idea to add the validator-binding-code in onBeforeRender() ?
Yes , in Wicket 2 , the hierarchy is known at construction time . But in wicket 1.2 , is there any better way to solve it ? 2006/6/15, Eelco Hillenius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Why not use findParent(Form.class)?
