I'd like to propose a change on the way we do ajax validation. Instead of using DWR which requires an external dependency and configuring a servlet, I'd like to have an interceptor in the dojo plugin that extends the validator interceptor, which outputs JSON with the messages when there are validation errors.
To use ajax validation all a user would have to do is add the interceptor to his/her class and set "validate" to "true" in either the form, or the submit/anchor that is submitting the form. regards musachy -- "Hey you! Would you help me to carry the stone?" Pink Floyd
