Subject: Re: [OS-webwork] using one validator on several different actions
ok, so this is what i've got and its not working, maybe im not understanding everyting correctly, in CarAction-validation.xml :
<!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0//EN" "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.dtd";>
<validators>
<field name="car"> <field-validator type="visitor"> <!--param name="context">create</param--> <message>Car Visitor: </message> </field-validator> </field>
</validators>
------------------------
in Car-validations.xml:
<!DOCTYPE validators PUBLIC "-//OpenSymphony Group//XWork Validator 1.0//EN" "http://www.opensymphony.com/xwork/xwork-validator-1.0.dtd";>
<validators>
<field name="name"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Name is REQUIRED</message> </field-validator> </field> <field name="model"> <field-validator type="requiredstring"> <message>Model is REQUIRED</message> </field-validator> </field>
</validators> ---------------------------
in my CarAction I have a car object exposed and my field names for the forms I use car.name, car.model etc, both validation files are in the same package as the CarAction, what am I doing wrong here?

If you have the Car object as a property of the Action, you can use the VisitorFieldValidator (there's a little doc on this on
the Wiki)
to make the validation framework use the validations
defined for the
Car class. This way, you could define your common
validations for the
car in a single Car-validations.xml. You could also define context-specific validations for Car by creating Car-edit-validation.xml and Car-create-validation.xml and set the context in the VisitorFieldValidator declaration, like this:
<field name="car"> <field-validator type="visitor"> <param name="context">anotherContext</param> <message>car: </message> </field-validator> </field>
Here, the message element defines the text which is
prepended to the
messages added by the validators for the subproperty (car in this case). The VisitorFieldValidator can also be applied to Collections and Arrays of objects and will run for each.

Subject: [OS-webwork] using one validator on several
different actions
I've been using the validator in webwork and have found myself
duplicating a few of the validations throughout the app, is there anyway I can apply validations to multiple actions or objects?
for example I have a creation form to create a Car, and then I have
another to Edit and Update the Car, how could I create just one validation file that will validate that Car?
right now I've got 2 validation files,
CreateCarAction-validation.xml
and UpdateCarAction-validation.xml and both are identical.
im thinking maybe a way to specify what validation files to
use in the action mapping? what do you guys think
