[FLOW3-general] Validate if an object is unique

[Manfred Rutschmann - VOLUMEN Werbe-/Internetagentur]

Hi Cornel,

that`s not true:

	/**
	 * createAction
	 * @param \Kunden\Domain\Model\Country $country
	 * @return void
	 * 
	 */
	public function createAction(\Kunden\Domain\Model\Country $country){
		$checkIdentity = $this->countryRepository->findByName($country->getName())->count();
		if($checkIdentity > 0){
			$this->forward("new", NULL, NULL, array("country"=>$country));
		} else {
			$this->countryRepository->add($country);
			$this->redirect("list");
		}
	}	

You can forward to the new action and use the given object as a argument, then all fields are filled with the old values before submitted. By the way, this from Bastian is interesting:

@Flow\Validate(argumentName="$user", type="UniqueEntity", options={"identityProperties"={"emailAddress"}})

i think i would give this a try too.

Regards Manfred
