ToscaWidgets, @validate, Restful URL question

[cd34]

I have an application where I have a url of:

/widgets

From that list, you can view the detail of an individual widget with:

/widget/1

This page displays widget_header and widget_detail lines. The form at
the bottom allows the user to add a new detail line.

@validate(widget_form, error_handler='widget')

However, when I need to do validation on the form submission on the
url /widget/1, error_handler is set to 'widget', which causes the page
generation to fail because it doesn't pass id, and, request.params is
empty at this point. Since the form is adding a detail line to a
header record, using RestController doesn't seem to really fit the
requirements unless I am not implementing RestController correctly.

How have others handled this situation without resorting to a modal
form?

Did that, as listed above, request.params is empty when the validate
error handler is called.

You should be able to locate it through your_widget.value_at_request I

request.environ['webob._parsed_post_vars'][0]['widget_id']

contained the value. I couldn't find anything in the wsgi response
that contained the widget name or value_at_request.
