Yes your right, but thing is that the action does not trigger the
validation process. I tried form.validate() and
form.endProcessing(true); and didn't success, and i don't have the time
atm to investigate this any further. What i'd like to do is to trigger a
validationError if the wrong row shall be deleted.
