You can't, unfortunately. The best you can do is have your component rendering (XSL) print big red ugly warnings in preview, and render nothing at all on the runtime.

It's either that, or backing all your components with DCRs, where FormAPI can be used to further validate and/or validate in a more interactive fashion.

Hi Rick,

Actually you can quite easily. Have a base validator class that is called by both the controller and the external. The validator takes in the parameters passed in by the request context. If the validation fails then the controller should return null (if it passes continue with the ForwardAction redirect). The external will also use the validator class and on validation failure you can return the document with the appropriate error codes. You can then map the error codes to friendly messages by the business user.

Say hi to Dan M. for me!

Oh sorry, I read the query as "validating component datums during content entry", not as "front-end form submission validation". Agreed that there's multiple ways of doing that side of things.

The foundation.jar provides the ValidationError and ValidationResult classes. There's sample usage in the sample user profile externals.

[PHP]
/iwadmin/main/spars/WORKAREA/Installed/foundation/toolkit_src/ls_runtime_src
com.interwoven.livesite.component.foundation.util.ValidationResult
com.interwoven.livesite.component.foundation.external.p13n.ProfileUtils#processProfileForm(RequestContext, UserProfile, String)
com.interwoven.livesite.component.foundation.external.p13n.SelfRegistration#doSaveProfile(RequestContext)
com.interwoven.livesite.component.foundation.external.p13n.UserAdministration#doSaveProfile(RequestContext)
[/PHP]

There's more out there in the wild, though obviously not all can be integrated with LiveSite. A quick search of stackoverflow.com for "java form validation" should get you some ideas.
