Description
Validating max length of strings should not require a round trip to the server. adding the html attribute to forms will prevent data entry on the client side.
I'm manually doing this as part of the wicketstuff-hibernate project, but it would be great to just have this built into wicket.
http://wicket-stuff.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/wicket-stuff/trunk/wicketstuff-hibernate-behavior/src/main/java/org/wicketstuff/hibernate/annotation/HibernateAnnotationComponentConfigurator.java?view=markup
I understand that currently validators can be used independently of Wicket and don't know about components or behaviors, but i'm recommending this be changed. Wicket is a web framework, not a validation library. If i want a portable validation library, I'll use commons-validation, not wicket. So, the validators should be web validators and be able to modify components or render custom javascript to help with web validation.
FYI: tapestry does it! =)
