RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question
James, You, sir, are wy wiser in the use of regular expressions than I hope to ever be. The whole escape this, don't escape that thing continues to confound me. Anyway, I've updated my validator.xml with the changes to the mask, and it appears to be working (i.e. it returns to the original input form). However, I am not getting any messages displayed via my tag. I've checked and the default validator messages are in my ApplicationResources.properties, and have verified that it is being loaded (at least according to the Tomcat console log). Has something changed in how messages are rendered recently? I'm using the nightly build from Feb. 10, 2003 Any ideas? TIA!

RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question
The problem, sir, lies not in your requiredif, but in your mask. When you say: ^[A-Za-z -']+$ What you're literally saying is "A to Z, a to z, and space to '". What you want to say is: ^[A-Za-z\ \-\']+$ When I used the correct mask, everything worked correctly. (i.e., if patientId was blank, the other three fields were required and had to obey the mask. If patientId was not black, the other three could be.)

RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question
I'll take a look at this later today. There have been a number of people saying that they have had problems with REQUIREDIF, so I want to make sure it's still working.

RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question
Sri - thanks for the reply. We have several other validations going on with this form-bean, so I'm confident that your first two items are OK. I've also pulled the 'REQUIREDIF' check out of the validation in question (leaving just the MASK) and everything behaves correctly. I've also been over the validator docs countless times, and have verified that the general approach matches what is in the doc. The only thing I can come up with is that the MASK processing is screwing things up some way I'm about to a point of writing a custom validation routine just to get by this, but would sure like to use the REQUIREDIF Jerry > -Original Message- > From: Sri Sankaran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 8:35 AM > To: Struts Users Mailing List > Subject: RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question > > > Nothing out of the ordinary jumps out from what you have > sent.

RE: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question
Nothing out of the ordinary jumps out from what you have sent. That being said, following are a few points; a list which you have probably already checked and double-checked: * Have you set the validator plug-in element in the struts-config? * Is the name of the form-bean in the action mapping also "UserInfo"? * Have you ensured that the requiredIf logic is being invoked at all? You could test this by say, changing the logic (just for test purposes). For example, change the NULL criterion to some dummy string literal. Then actually enter that literal on the JSP and see if the requiredif logic is triggered Sri -Original Message- From: Jerry Jalenak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 14, 2003 8:38 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: [REPOST] [Validator] REQUIREDIF Question I'm reposting this in the hope that someone can tell what I'm doing wrong. I can't seem to figure out why this doesn't work. Any (and all) help is greatly appreciated I have a rather simple form with 4 fields on it. If the first field (patientId) is left blank, then the other three fields (lastName, firstName, dob) are required. So, in struts-config I have and in my validator-rules I am using mask ^[0-9]+$ mask ^[A-Za-z -']+$ field[0] patientId field-test[0] NULL mask ^[A-Za-z -']+$ field[0] patientId field-test[0] NULL mask ^[0-9]+$ field[0] patientId field-test[0] NULL The REQUIREDIF check does not seem to be working as the validation is passed successfully. I suspect it has something to do with the form property being a String, but being checked against a NULL in validator. I checked the validator docs and this appears to be the correct way of doing this. Am I just missing something obvious? TIA!
