RE: Commons validation framework and struts
Do you have the ValidatorPlugin defined in your struts-config.xml file. For example you should have something like this defined: plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn set-property property=pathnames value=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml/ /plug-in robert -Original Message- From: Abhishek Srivastava [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 14, 2003 1:43 AM To: 'Struts Users Mailing List' Subject: RE: Commons validation framework and struts Hello Robert, Thanks for your reply.

RE: Commons validation framework and struts
Hello Ben, I am not using Dynamic forms. I have defined my own form object which derives from ValidatorForm. Are you saying that I must switch to dynamic forms if I want to use the validator framework? Or define my own validtors? One thing which I couldn't find in the validation framework was how to do validation only for a specific value. In my example I have operand1, operand2 and operator. If the operand2 is 0 and the operator is /, then I would like to check this and raise an error division by 0 not allowed for other operators 0 is allowed for operand2. Actually with this prototype I was trying to find out how useful the validation framework is. Also, last time when I worked on struts the validation logic was put inside the form class itself. Is that still allowed? I also have some concerns regarding the use of the XML based validation framework. For my application, validation can get very complex. If I try to do everything via XML then the XML will get bloated and perhaps more complex than the java code. I would need advise from people who have used this framework for complex data validation to confirm whether it can easily be achieved and whether the xml code is easily understandable.
