<h3>More Control Edit (Using BeanEditor) (1)</h3>
BeanEditForm is a component that combines 3 other components: BeanEditor, Form, and Errors.<br/>
When we need more control we can do the same: instead of using BeanEditForm we can combine those 3 components and add others if needed.<br/>
Here we have added a "Refresh" link.
<div class="eg">
<t:form t:id="personform">
<t:errors globalOnly="true"/>
<div class="t-beaneditor">
<t:if test="person">
<t:beaneditor t:id="person" object="person">
<!-- If optimistic locking is not needed then comment out this next bit. It works because Hidden fields are part of the submit. -->
<p:version>
<t:hidden value="person.version"/>
</p:version>
</t:beaneditor>
<div class="t-beaneditor-row">
<t:submit value="Save"/>
<t:eventlink event="refresh" class="btn btn-default">Refresh</t:eventlink>
</div>
</t:if>
<t:if test="!person">
<div class="alert alert-danger">Person ${personId} does not exist.</div>
</t:if>
</div>
</t:form>
</div>
