FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
I started using struts validator. I just copied a bunch of stuff from the struts example and started using that, and found that the minlength validation actually returns true when the text field is blank. This was my first attempt and I was trying to make sure I had got the validator plug-in functioning correctly, so I actually spent a few hours hunting down the reason why my blank field was passing validation even though the minlength had been set to 1. I discovered in the source code that this is normal behaviour - surely that can't be the case? I would expect a blank field to fail validation for minimum length. Or is this actually the case for reasons I'm not aware of? Thanks Adam - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
I think this is the correct behaviour since blank fields have to be considered using the required rule. You can use both required + minlength rules if field is mandatory. Nico.

Or is this actually the case for reasons I'm not aware of? This is actually a good thing :-). Minlength will only fail if there is some text in the control and it's less than the minimum length. If you want it to fail with no data you need to use the required validation. By separating these validations you can make a field optional and if the user fills it in, it has to be more than minlength characters.

Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
Oh. I see. But the client-side validation does not behave this way. I have just max and min length specified, and with javascript on, I cannot submit if the field is blank.

If you generated the static javascript and stored it in a file, make sure you regenerate it after upgrading to 1.1 final. David David Graham wrote: This is actually a good thing :-).

Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
I shutdown and deleted my deploys and builds and recompiled and redeployed everything, and I have the html:javascript static=true tag in the staticJavascript.jsp which I link into my page with the script tag, so I am pretty confident I don't have any old version of the static javascript cached or generated anywhere. (I am on 1.1 final) The javascript is still giving me must be min length validation errors when I try to submit a blank field though. Should the static javascript taglib still be in a seperate file like in the example app? Adam David Graham wrote: Client and server checks should be the same in 1.1 final.

Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
Remove the field bundle attribute because that's not supported. What
text are you typing into the input box?

Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
I'm sorry, it was my fault. I had forgotten to replace the
validator-rules.xml with the new version.

Re: FieldChecks.validateMinLengths()
Hi David
is there any reason to suspect I am doing something with the resource
string as well?
With the all-up-to-date version :) I get the correct validation message
for the minvalue, but the maxvalue msg says:
Title cannot be greater than null characters
Any pointers?
