ValidateButton without descriptor

[b8565524]

Hi,

I would like to use f:validateButton control to validate my plugin config. The problem is that I haven't got any Descriptor - I use class which extends Plugin.

This code:
<f:validateButton title="Test" progress="Wait..." with="param1,param2" method="testConfig"/>

returns 404.

I was trying to 'hack' method url:
<f:validateButton title="Test" progress="Wait..." with="param1,param2" method="${rootURL}/plugin/myplugin/testConfig"/>

It does not work... It tries to invoke http://localhost:8081/descriptorByName/jenkins.model.GlobalPluginConfiguration//plugin/myplugin/testConfig :(

How can I use validateButton when I haven't got any descriptor?

The trick is to make your class implement Describable, then define a
nested Descriptor.

Various classes in the core do just that, such as ProxyConfiguration, I believe.
