try field.setImmediate(true) and also set the compoentError onto the field, not onto the form.
Maybe that helps.

Hi Karthik and Marcel,

If you want to validate the fields you need to add a validator to them in order to make validation works as expected, you can read more in depth about it in the book of vaadin 5.19 Form, point 5.19.3 Validating Form Input.

For example, extracted from book:

// Postal code that must be 5 digits (10000-99999).
TextField field = new TextField("Postal Code");
field.setColumns(5);

// Create the validator
Validator postalCodeValidator = new RegexpValidator(
    "[1-9][0-9]{4}", "Postal code must be a number 10000-99999.");
field.addValidator(postalCodeValidator);

// Set the form to act immediately on user input. This is
// necessary for the validation of the fields to occur immediately
// when the input focus changes and not just on commit.
form.setImmediate(true);

// The Commit button calls form.commit().
Button commit = new Button("Commit", form, "commit");

HTH.

Javi.

Thank you...
