Just added to validator, you can get access to the form from
a validation
rule by putting Validator in the method signature. For example:
public static boolean validateLastNameIsBob(Object bean,
Field field,
Validator validator) {
Object form = validator.getResource(validator.BEAN_KEY);
String lastName = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(form,
lastName);
if (lastName.equals(Bob) return true;
return false;
}
If you look in the unit tests for Validator, you can see a
requiredif
validation I wrote that does generic cross-field validations
(i.e., last
name is required if first name is filled in). I'll be
submitting as an
enhancement for Struts Validator soon.

So are you wanting to do validation that involves more than two fields? Or just trying to get away from specifying the otehr field(s) as var elements.

RE: [OT] Commons Validator JavaDoc
That's the same conclusion that I've come to. The situation is thus - if a user clicks a checkbox 'on', then I need to validate as many as three other fields that are under the checkbox, otherwise I don't care. The approach I'm taking is to write a validation method for each checkbox, passing the other fields in as var's. In the validation method I can check to see if the checkbox is 'on' - if it is then I can check the other fields. Ugly, but I think it will work (unless someone else has a better idea! :-)) On an aside (and thank you James for the doc update), does anyone know where the getActionError method that used to be in ValidatorUtils got moved to?
