Re: [Springframework-rcp-dev] Optional error validation overlay

[Peter De B. <pet...@gm...>]

Andy,

I assume you're talking about custom components that you want to exclude
from the x-overlays.

In that case, I would go for the client property on the component.

Define a String
OverlayValidationInterceptorFactory.DONT_OVERLAY_PROPERTYconstant

then you can do the following in your form:

customComponent = ...;
customComponent.putClientProperty(
OverlayValidationInterceptorFactory.DONT_OVERLAY_PROPERTY, Boolean.TRUE);

then we can adapt the OverlayValidationInterceptor to ignore components that
have this property set tot true.

What do you think?
