Just for the record, I think you'll find that onPrepare() gets called
regardless.
In comes an AJAX form submit. The Form may have a context. The Submit may
specify an event other than SELECT.
- Form bubbles up PREPARE_FOR_SUBMIT. Form context is available if
specified.
- Form bubbles up PREPARE.
- Submit bubbles up SELECT or the event you specified. In your example I
think you handle this event and return the zone which stops Form bubbling up
VALIDATE_FROM_FORM and SUCCESS or FAILURE.
Tapestry switches to rendering the zone content...
- Form bubbles up PREPARE_FOR_RENDER.
- Form bubbles up PREPARE.
Out goes AJAX response with zone content.
