RE: struts validation and dispatch action
From what I have done before, you can sub-class the action and override the validate to do a conditional validation, this way you still get to keep the validation in action mapping or you can move the entire validation to your action. -Original Message- From: Sonam Belbase [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2003 1:56 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: struts validation and dispatch action Hi, I've noticed that since validation is defined in the action mapping, it will apply to all methods of a dispatch action. But what if only one method in the dispatch action requires field X to be populated/selected and another method doesn't care. Is there a way to apply struts validation to only one dispatch action method and not all of them? Thanks, SB -- NOTICE: If received in error, please destroy and notify sender.

DynaValidationForm
Hi, Is there a way to make DynaValidationForm not to do the validation based on a certain attribute other than sub-classing it? That's not that difficlt to do, but I was wondering if there is a better way, here is my scenario. I have an account table and I have one form and one action for all the usecases associated with account (add/edit/update/view/list/delete). For edit scenario, I need to retrieve the row in one interaction and update in the other. I am relying on the form that gets created when edit is called and setting all the fields to that form. This worked fine until I introduced validation. With validation, during the first interaction, it tries to validate and returns the form back. I want it not to validate for the first request. thanks, Vishu MMS firstam.com made the following annotations on 11/13/2003 12:05:44 PM -- THIS E-MAIL MESSAGE AND ANY FILES TRANSMITTED HEREWITH, ARE INTENDED SOLELY FOR THE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL(S) ADDRESSED AND MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.

RE: Show validation error messages next to the corresponding inpu t fields
use the errors tag under html taglib. When you instantiate an ActionError and add it to ActionErrors, you can specify a key, which can be linked to an entry in ResourceBundle. errors tag will pick that up. you can also use html formatting around the entry in ResourceBundle, so it can go with rest of your formatting. -Original Message- From: Kevin Wang [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 12, 2003 6:23 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Show validation error messages next to the corresponding input fields Does anybody know how to do this?

RE: Hi Ted, any more on html:control?
Did you take a look at
Middlegen(http://sourceforge.net/projects/middlegen/)?
It's pretty close to what you are describing. In fact it goes couple steps
backwards and forwards generating JSPs/Struts action classes directly from
database. It has plug-ins for EJB and JDO. If have a site with simple forms,
it saves you a lot of time by generating all the forms with get/set.

Hi Ted,
Has the html:control you mention below been implemented already
or is it in the works at all?
Thanks,

AFAIK, there's no such beast right now, though I keep thinking there
should be.
Essentially, the idea would be to represent the entire form and all of
its fields as a JavaBean (or Map of JavaBeans, or Map of Maps), which
could be instantiated by an XML file. Not unlike the XML form element
the Validator uses, only more so.
A JSP Tag (or Velocity Tool) could then render the control based on the
properties of the JavaBean form. So instead of having something like
html:input property=xyz ... /
you'd have something like
html:control property=xyz ... /
The tag would then lookup the xyz property, and then the controlType
property on the xyz JavaBean, and use that value to decide which control
to render (input, select, ... ).
For extra credit, there could also be tag/tool that could write a
plain-vanilla version of the entire form as a simple table.
I end up doing this myself eventually, but keep hoping someone will beat
me to it =:)
-Ted.

Eg
My JSP looks like this right now (I am using tiles and this is the
content section )
%@ taglib uri=/core prefix=c %
%@ taglib uri=/struts-tiles prefix=tiles %
%@ taglib uri=/struts-html prefix=html %
brbr
html:form action=/createContentAction
table width=60% border=0.5
c:forEach var=lines items=${contentForm.map.lines}
tr
tdc:out
value=${lines.attributeName}/ /td
tdhtml:text indexed=true
name=lines property=attributeValue//td
/tr
/c:forEach
tr
tdhtml:submit//td
/tr
/table
/html:form
tr
tdhtml:submit//td
/tr
/table
/html:form
Basically my intent is to load some predefined attributes (by parsing
an XML file) and creating the
Form on the fly using indexed DynaActionForm (contentForm) . I have been
able to get the fields up in the form, but only
as text input fields as I am using html:text tags. However, my input
type can be check boxes, or select type and
I would like that to be configurable instead of hard coding in the JSP.
Is this doable ??
Any hints/tips would be appreciated.
TIA
Shishir

Portals and managing UI changes
Hi, I have been using Struts for a while and is working great. Now some of our customers are planning to integrate their sites into a portal along with personalization. My choice was to refactor the sites using Tiles. I also have to provide an admin interface to personalizable items. I have a plan for the database level/application level changes to support these items, but I can't arrive at a design that would work without problems on UI side. Some of the issues are: 1. Changing the structure of pages our UI designer is used to and replace with tags his WYSIWUG editor can't render (this may be just an editor issue) 2. As the no. of personalizable points increase, it makes the above problem worse and I quickly approach the complexity of having different sites for each customer and update all the sites. Are there any better ways to approach this? thanks, Vishu MMS firstam.com made the following annotations on 09/17/2003 04:38:30 PM -- THIS E-MAIL MESSAGE AND ANY FILES TRANSMITTED HEREWITH, ARE INTENDED SOLELY FOR THE USE OF THE INDIVIDUAL(S) ADDRESSED AND MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL, PROPRIETARY OR PRIVILEGED INFORMATION.
