Hi,
I'd like some help in figuring out if what I'm doing has dangerous implications.
EOF objects that are edited in WOComponents go through two validations for what
I see.
The first is done on assignment by WOComponent and the second by EOCustomObject
on save.
This can sometimes hamper my ui as for example when using tabs to edit values
of a complex EO in steps. Having validation to occur on assignment right away
means that my user can't leave a tab if he has not filled the mandatory fields
of a new object. And it might be convenient to let him do it sometimes and just
check everything when he pushes the save button.
So I added the following to my 'common' EOGenericRecord subclass:
> public boolean postponeValidation() {
> return false;
> }
>
> @Override
> public Object validateTakeValueForKeyPath(Object value, String keyPath) {
> if ( postponeValidation() ) {
> takeValueForKeyPath( value, keyPath );
> return value;
> }
> return super.validateTakeValueForKeyPath(value,keyPath);
> }
My eo's can override the postponeValidation and return true to force
assignments to occur anyway and just leave it to the save-validation to catch
any errors.
Am I doing something I will regret here? Can you foresee problems in using such
practice?
