How to use form validation in a form with a zone attribute? - forms

Question

I have a big problem with Tapestry 5.3.6..
I have a form with a custom simple mixins that implies that form's ids couldnt' be modified :/
So i have this :
<form t:type="form" t:id="formId" t:mixins="aMixins" t:zone="zoneID">
<t:errors/>
<input t:type="TextField"/>
<a t:type="LinkSubmit" t:id="linkId"/>
</form>
<t:zone t:id="zoneID">
Something....
</t:type>
When I use the zone form attribute, the validation errors aren't displayed, how can i make the validation errors displays errors without include the form into a zone ?
I can't include this form into a zone because when my mixin is initialized, it put some listeners on some DOM elements and when i submit my form, the form is reloaded (because of the zone) and reload the mixin too, which add some more listener on new DOM elements and after the submit an event is fired which is catched by corresponding listeners, but some of listeners are linked to unexistant elements and the js crash.
Thanks a lot for your reponses

This is not implied. Maybe, it's your requirement?
If not then to plug in your mixin into ajax rendering you need to make the mixin a bit more flexible.
In YourMixin class:
#InjectContainer
private ClientElement element;
void afterRender() {
String elementId = element.getClientId();
JSONObject spec = new JSONObject();
spec.put("elementId", elementId);
jsSupport.addScript("new MixinHandler(%s)", spec.toString());
}
This is just a hint, take a look at Autocomplete implementation (class, javascript) for a complete sample.

This sounds doubtful.. I guess validation errors are not visible because you do not update the form itself and its <t:errors/> tag.
This can be verified if you set break points into FAILURE and SUCCESS event handlers of the form in your page (see org.apache.tapestry5.EventConstants).
