Do you think I should enter a feature request with this or is there already something happening in GWT internally?

Nothing's happening right now on RF.

You can file a feature request, but be aware that it's unlikely I would contribute the code (I can't tell for Manolo, the other assigned maintainer for the RF module; see https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-web-toolkit-contributors/eq0LsmH2blw/discussion) so you'd probably have to contribute the patch.

The idea is :

"Since GWT is rigid in "when things should happen" (phases), it should be more permissive in how you manage each step"

Since it imposes that validation must happen only the validation phase, it should allow to better tune how you do your validation.

This is similar to what I proposed a couple years back about loading the entities: you could optimize your database requests if you knew which things will be needed (e.g. use different fetch groups in JPA to switch between loading relationships lazily or eagerly). It still hasn't happened, and now that I'm an entitled maintainer for RF I don't even know how that could be done "correctly". It's a can of worms. I fear that the validation case you're raising can quickly become a can of worms; and RF is almost already itself a can of worms, so I'm quite reluctant to add features to it… (remember: once introduced, features have to be maintained, and when you're an assigned maintainer, people will held you responsible for the maintenance)

 Hi Thomas,

Thanks for the visibilty you gave me on what is happening. Actually I can't propose any atch since i've invested 3 years of my time on a project and i need to publish it and get back some money from it, otherwise I'll need to step back professionally and work again as a consultant (boring life :) . So sorry if I'm only complaining, without helping. It's just that I can't afford it for now

Oh you don't have to be sorry, and I hope you didn't take it personally or as an incentive to not file the feature request on the tracker !

I'm just trying to be frank and transparent about what's happening, absolutely not trying to discourage you in continuing to rant/complain or file feature requests (or bugs)

(note: my 10-month-old son is still taking way too much time than I'd like and I'm very busy at work too, so I can't contribute to GWT as much as I'd want, and I prioritize Google Groups, StackOverflow and issue triaging above reviewing code and above contributing code –I couldn't even attend the SC meeting yesterday–; and when I contribute, I unfortunately don't have enough time available "in a row" to be able to contribute or code-review the complex pieces that are –in increasing order of complexity– the Editor framework, AutoBeans or RequestFactory).
