There is a very complete example of patterning webForms in nevow
distribution under the name customform.tac.

If you need to change the error message (since the position in which it
should be displayed could be specified in the patterned template) you can do
that directly from the TypedInterface:
annotate.String(required=True, requiredFailMessage="Insert that string")
