[jsr-314-open] [NEW] <f:ajax> and <f:validateBean> - consistent wrapping solution needed?

[Pete Muir]

Hey,

Aha, I forgot about that ordering discussion. Hrm. If the ordering
thing is an issue with f:validateBean, then we should go with a nested
approach I guess (though it is a little more verbose)... Dan?

This is also the tried and tested solution (aka s:validateAll in Seam).

No, it's just my memory being a bit creaky...
