SFSB Method(Event Handler) still called after form validatio
I have a SFSB that has a save method linked to a save button on my page. I have @NotNull validation annotations on the entity bean. When I submit the form I see the error messages appear from the the decorator tags, but the "save" event handler is still called and the page is reloaded with its original values. My understanding is that if validation fails on a form, the event handler does not get called and the invalid values in the form remain, so either I am doing something wrong, or I misundertand the form validation in SEAM. I believe it works this way because seam-gen'ed applicaitions do not appear to invoke the EntityHome.persist() if the form validation fails. When form validation fails does/should the SFSB method (Event handler) still get called?
Here is the code in question:
