dynamically traverse editor form for security?

[Elhanan]

hi.. is it possible to use the EditorVisitor to get access to the editor's widgets  (textbox,date, etc..) and enable or disable according to security values i will set from the server?

[Thomas Broyer]

Yes and no, but in most cases, no.

EditorVisitor gives you access to the Editors, and all "base" editor widgets in GWT implement IsEditor, not Editor. That is, with the EditorVisitor you'll get a ValueBoxEditor<String>, not the TextBox.

is there another way to reflective recursive search in a form?

it's just occured to me, that won't solve my problem with buttons and things that are not editors.

it would the developer would have would have somehow "annotated" the element of the widget with something and i would have to create a visitor class for the form (assuming the form is a complex panel)
