If you create an entity in a webservice or init block of a page which is not valid, will still be persisted. There is no rollback/check executed that this entity is unvalid

Actually, the whole validation seems to be skipped (don’t see log printed which is part of the validation function). Will add a test for this.

Test added.

Next question: What should happen in case validation fails in the init of a page / (ajax)template?
Should the visitor get a 404, a blank page with validation error message, …?

I’m adding a mechanism that performs validation after rendering a page. Whenever a validation error occurs, the errors are reported in the server log and the page is served with a js popup with the validation errors in it. And most important: the transaction will be rolled back, and invalid entities are not saved.

This might break pages where data-validation should have failed in the first place, but never did because of the lack of checking.
