[TYPO3-extbase] Model seems not to be validated

[Marco Behnke]

Hi,

first of all sorry if this is not the right list, but there is no other 
list related to extbase (or I did not find it).

Yesterday I struggled a lot with creating an extbase extension. Checkbox 
elements claim that they want booleans and not strings and so on.

But my main problem is, that the model does not get validated but 
insreted into the database which results in query errors because the 
content is invalid.

This is my controller action:

/**
  * action new
  *
  * @param Tx_ArArbeitnehmer_Domain_Model_Employee $newEmployee
  * @dontvalidate
  * @return void
  */
public function newAction(Tx_ArArbeitnehmer_Domain_Model_Employee 
$newEmployee = NULL) {
	if (empty($newEmployee)) {
		$newEmployee = $this->createEmptyObject();
	}
	$this->view->assign('newEmployee', $newEmployee);
}

/**
  * action create
  *
  * @param Tx_ArArbeitnehmer_Domain_Model_Employee $newEmployee
  * @return void
  */
public function createAction(Tx_ArArbeitnehmer_Domain_Model_Employee 
$newEmployee) {
	$this->employeeRepository->add($newEmployee);
	$this->flashMessageContainer->add('Your new Employee was created.');

	$this->redirectToUri('/suche/fuer-arbeitnehmer/ihr-eintrag-vielen-dank.html');
}

I tried removing the dontvalidate on the newAction but that results in:

Could not ultimately dispatch the request after 101 iterations. Most 
probably, a @dontvalidate annotation is missing on re-displaying a form 
with validation errors.


This is my model:

class Tx_ArArbeitnehmer_Domain_Model_Employee extends 
Tx_Extbase_DomainObject_AbstractEntity {

	/**
	 * Vorname
	 *
	 * @var string
	 * @validate NotEmpty
	 * @validate StringLength(minimum=1)
	 */
	protected $firstname = '';

	/**
	 * Nachname
	 *
	 * @var string
	 * @validate NotEmpty
	 * @validate StringLength(minimum=1)
	 */
	protected $lastname = '';

...
}


I tried it with only NotEmpty and with the StringLength but whatever is 
entered in there, the model is saved (or at least tried). I would 
expecte the controller to return with validation errors.


What am I doing wrong?
