Where is the validation failing? At a form level, or at the object level?
I will commonly have code that looks like:
obj.setFoo(value);
if(object.validate());
{
save(obj);
}
return obj;
Then if the object doesn't validate, I can pass it back to my view,
and it can display the invalid data just as it would do normally.
That make sense?
