@StringLengthFieldValidator annotation fires a different times according to placement -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: WW-2306 URL: https://issues.apache.org/struts/browse/WW-2306 Project: Struts 2 Issue Type: Bug Reporter: Ted Husted Fix For: 2.1.4 Express a @StringLengthFieldValidator using the idiom @Validations ( stringLengthFields = { @StringLengthFieldValidator(fieldName="password1", key="error.password.length", message="", trim = true, minLength = "4", maxLength = "12") }) on an alias method, and it fires before any validations (such as @RequiredString), short -circuiting them, even when short-circuit is not set. It also fires when input is empty (rather than at >0). The same thing happens when the annotation is applied to the get method. @StringLengthFieldValidator(fieldName="password1", key="error.password.length", message="", trim = true, minLength = "4", maxLength = "12") @ExpressionValidator(key="error.password.match", message="", expression="password1 eq password2" ) public String execute() throws Exception { Ideally, @StringLengthFieldValidator should fire at the same time @EmailValidator and the like fire. -Ted. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
