[TYPO3-mvc] create two objects with one form and validation

[Thomas Allmer]

hey,

I need a form that creates two separate objects. Well I though that 
shouldn't be too hard :p

Class: Obj1
-> name: string (notEmpty)
-> points: int (notEmpty)

Class: Obj2
-> age: float (notEmpty)

for one Object it's pretty easy :p

<f:form action="create" name="newObj1" object="{newObj1}">
	<f:form.textfield property="name" />
	<f:form.textfield property="points" />
</f:form>

now if I want both objects in the same form I just create a Class to 
hold them both right?

Class: Obj1AndObj2
-> obj1
-> obj2

<f:form action="create" name="newObj1AndObj2" object="{newObj1AndObj2}">
	<f:form.textfield property="obj1.name" />
	<f:form.textfield property="obj1.points" />
	<f:form.textfield property="obj2.age" />
</f:form>

I do get both objects and the data, but it won't validate... meaning if 
I just fill out obj1.name it still gets into the createAction and won't 
throw an error that points (and age) should not be empty.

I then tried to create my own Model Validator
Obj1AndObj2Validator

in it I check for the correct class
if ($obj1AndObj2->getObj1() instanceof Obj1) {

but yeah it is correct... it just isn't "valid" in teams of it extbase 
properties...

so how can I validate an object like extbase does? I tried 
"Tx_Extbase_Validation_Validator_GenericObjectValidator" but you would 
have to manually register all Validators...

or is there actually a better/easier solution?

maybe someone can enlighten me :)

cheers
