Hi Brian, Mark
If a form field contains invalid data that cannot be set on a bean due to a type failure, how would you handle redisplaying that original invalid data back on the form again? Thanks Kevan _____ From: cfcdev@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Brian Kotek Sent: Thursday, 25 September 2008 2:23 AM To: cfcdev@googlegroups.com Subject: [CFCDEV] Re: Using object "getters" after form validation fails I have a Validator that first attempts to set the properties on the bean (I use a Transfer object that has been cloned so that the updates don't affect the real object until it is saved, but this could be done manually as well). If any properties fail to be set (argument type failure), I record those as validation errors and then move on. After the properties are set I run a validation on them to ensure that they conform to my rules (unique value, between two numbers, required, greater than/less than, etc.) and capture those as well. Only if the validator has no errors at this point do I save the object. So you don't have to type your arguments to any, you can just capture setter failures and treat them like any other validation failure.

If I have a date field in my bean, then I would like it to be a real date value (or an empty string meaning null), or if I have a numeric field in my bean then I want it to be a real numeric value. Allowing them to be anything entered by a user just doesn't feel right - but that is just where my head is at right now. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CFCDev" group.
