Re: Nested form validation
Thanks, I am doing just that.
Just a quick question, how do I use the property name as the error key
in the validate() method?
I have this but it uses the form name as the key, not the name of the
property currently validating.
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
String validationKey = getValidationKey(mapping, request);
errors.add(validationKey, new ActionMessage("errors.input"));
return errors;
}
Thanks

Re: Nested form validation
I would think so, but you'd have to call Validator yourself. Take a
look at how the ValidatorForm#validate() calls it, and base your
nested.validate() code on that. After the call, append the errors
from your main form and those in your nested form.

Ben - I think you have it mostly correct, except that the call to
userForm.address.validate(); should APPEND to errors, not overwrite it
by using an equal sign.
Hopefully somebody will correct anything else that won't work :)

Re: Nested form validation
Why not call nested.validate() inside NormalForm#validate(), then add
the appropriate ActionMessage objects in the resulting ActionErrors?

Re: Nested form validation
Are you talking something like
If so, then its most likely not possible. Furthermore, it is not
standard HTML, and not guaranteed to work on any browser - whatever you
are doing with nested forms needs to be rethought so as not to use them.
If that is not what you are talking about, we may need further
explanation (with possibly a sample of the form...)

Within my normal form there is a nested form. The nested form has

automatically validate the nested form with my custom validation

E.g.
NormalForm () {
NestedForm nested = new NestedForm();
}
NestedForm () {
validate(...) {
// checking the data here

}
So my action would validate the form as:
MyAction () {
NormalForm nForm = (NormalForm) form;
ActionErrors errors = nForm.validate(); // Validate the data
}
The problem here is that it validates the NormalForm and ignores my
validation in the NestedForm.
I hope this question makes sense to you... :)

Nested form validation
Hi
Within my normal form there is a nested form. The nested form has
custom validation. The validate attribute of the action is set to
false. My question is how do I validate the normal form and
automatically validate the nested form with my custom validation
method?
E.g.
NormalForm () {
NestedForm nested = new NestedForm();
}
NestedForm () {
validate(...) {
// checking the data here
}
}
So my action would validate the form as:
MyAction () {
NormalForm nForm = (NormalForm) form;
ActionErrors errors = nForm.validate(); // Validate the data
}
The problem here is that it validates the NormalForm and ignores my
validation in the NestedForm.
I hope this question makes sense to you... :)

Ben
