Hi fatefree,
Check this blog post:

I think this achieves what you want.

I have been trying to fulfill a requirement of a form, where each
field is
validated one at a time after losing focus, and the entire form is
validated
when a user clicks submit. I can see that there are pieces of what I
want to
do thats possible, but I haven't been able to put them all together.
What I have tried is using the
AjaxFormValidatingBehavior.addToAllFormComponents(form, "onblur"),
but as
you probably know this causes the entire form to be validated on the
onblur
which is both confusing to a user who hasnt been able to put all
values in,
and also seems to be excessive load as id rather the rest of the
form be
ignored.
Then I looked into nested forms with the hope that I could add the
same
behavior to a nested form, and then a user could submit a parent
form which
would submit its child forms. While i thought this could be a
solution, it
seems that when an inner form is submitted through the onblur behavior
above, the parent form is submitted and validated as well so I have
the same
problem as I do in the first case. Keep in mind I have no button to
submit
an individual field (so i cant call setdefaultformprocessing).
So finally I thought about making every field its own form without
being
nested, in which case I know the validating behavior will work for
every
form individually. The only problem (besides having a form for every
input,
but thats manageable) is that I don't know how to use a button
outside of
these forms, and force it to submit every form and proceed only if
they are
all valid. I tried using an AjaxLink and calling process on every
form i
have a reference to, but that seems to return true every time
without any
validation.
Has anyone had a similar requirement or accomplished what I am
trying to do?
I would be very appreciative of any example or ideas or direction i
should
look into to accomplish this. Thanks in advance
