A contact form specifies a date, type and distribution center for a set of households. [The set of households is defined as the most recent for that center and is presented via ajax.] The type entity is required and the date must not be in the future. The type constraint is specified in the Contact entity; the date constraint is in a custom validator. If either of these constraints are violated the form is not valid as confirmed in Netbeans debug. Also, the error message appears in Netbeans.. Yet neither of the constraint messages appear in the template. Adding a dump of form_errors to the template provides nothing. I cannot determine why no messages appear.
