Is EditorDriver.setConstraintViolations supposed to propagate EditorError-s to child editors?

Is EditorDriver.setConstraintViolations supposed to propagate EditorErrors to child editors ?

I have OrderEditor that has nested OrganizationEditor that has nested ContactPersonEditor. All my editors implement only HasEditorErrors<> interface.

So when I call EditorDriver.setConstraintViolations every editor receives HasEditorErrors.showErrors call-back but only root OrderEditor gets container with errors. All nested editors receive the call with empty container.

Is it supposed to work automagically ? Or I have to subclass my driver and traverse through all editors using visitor ? And even if I do I don't understand how I'd push errors to them.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Turns out it doesn't work in GWT 2.4 release. But it seems fixed in trunk version of GWT.

    After compiling GWT from sources and debugging in them I discovered that errors are being propagated to the bottommost editors. Therefore if I have EditorA which consists of bunch of ValueBoxEditorDecorators I won't get EditorA.showErrors() call. It will be propagated all the way down.
