BTW that flowscript code was written with the intention of supporting multi-page Woody forms with automated back/forward navigation as in JXForms. However, when I looked into implementing this I discovered that Woody forms cannot be presented in multiple pages because apparently the entire form is "submitted" with each request. As a result the fields that are not presented in the first page fail validation because they have no values. Or am I missing something?
No, you got it right : Woody always validates the whole form.
In addition, the "validator" function in show() was not intended to return a value. I did that originally simply because it wasn't possible to programatically add validation errors to the form widgets themselves at the time it was written (not sure if that's still the case).
It is possible now, as I added access to the real widgets in order to do this. But problem is that the form is not informed of this "manual" validation, and therefore there must be a way for the validator function to express this.
Another way could be for the validator to set an "invalidate" property on the form. Don't know...
