Re: [VALIDATOR] Validating Date with DynaValidator

Validating a Date with the Struts-Validator Framework works fine, but if the field i
want to validate is not a required field and may be empty, the validator always
reports an error, even if if i remove the depends=required in the
validation-rules.xml.
Do i have to implement the Validator-class in a way that it doesnt validate empty
dates or is there any declarative way to solve this?
Thanks for any help.

This is my validation-rules.xml:
validator name=date
classname=org.apache.struts.util.StrutsValidator
method=validateDate
methodParams=java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest
msg=errors.date
jsFunctionName=DateValidations
and the validation.xml:
field property=beginEmployment depends=date
arg0 key=personal.data.beginEmployment /
var
var-namedatePattern/var-name
var-valuedd.MM./var-value
/var
/field
Hi Axel,
you can subclass the DynaValidatorForm to override the validator method.
There you can check if the date field is empty, something like that
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
String date = null;
if (((date = (String) this.get(yourDateField)) == null)
|| (date.length == 0))
{
// do no validation
return null;
}
return super.validate(mapping, request);
}
Hope this helps.

You don't want it in the validation.xml but in the rule I think you might need it to get it to work correctly. I have the depends=required in the validation-rules.xml for date and my dates are getting validated if I leave the field blank, so give it a try. Not positive that's the problem though. -- Rick mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
