Subject: Struts Validator and Select boxes


Hi,

I am using Struts validator.
One page of mine has dates displayed as MM  DD .
All the above 3 are displayed in seprate combo/select boxes.
I need to do some custom validations on these fields.
I wrote a custom class for the same 
Looks like - 
   public static boolean validateDates(Object bean,
ValidatorAction validatorAction,
Field field, ActionErrors errors,
HttpServletRequest request)
   {
  String actionType = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
 
field.getVarValue(actionType)); // A hidden form field
  String fromMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getProperty());
  String fromDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
  field.getVarValue(fromDay));
  String fromYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
   field.getVarValue(fromYear));
  String toMonth = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
  field.getVarValue(toMonth));
  String toDay = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
field.getVarValue(toDay));
  String toYear = ValidatorUtil.getValueAsString(bean,
 field.getVarValue(toYear));

  System.out.println(actionType  + actionType);
  System.out.println(fromMonth  + fromMonth);
  System.out.println(fromDay  + fromDay);
  System.out.println(fromYear  + fromYear);
  System.out.println(toMonth  + toMonth);
  System.out.println(toDay  + toDay);
  System.out.println(toYear  + toYear);

  return true;
   }

O/P of the above code - 
actionType searchPage
fromMonth 2
fromDay null
fromYear null
toMonth null
toDay null
toYear null

It also gives me No Name Specified error.
Point to note is that the all other fields other than 'actionType' are select boxes. 
It gives a null for all the field types that are of html:select.
Is this a known BUG or am i going wrong somewhere ?

Re: Struts Validator and Select boxes

2004-03-26 Thread Niall Pemberton
Posting whats in your validation.xml for the form and the bit of your jsp
with your select fields would be helpfull.

If you take the fromDay as an example, you are using
field.getVarValue(fromDay)  - if you don't have a var defined in your
validation.xml for fromDay then that would cause the No Name Specified
error - same goes for fromYear, toMonth, toDay and toYear.

As for getting nulls, looks to me again that whats specified for the vars
in your validation.xml doesn't tie up with the names specified on your form.

From your code I would expect something like the following in your
validation.xml

form.
field 
varvar-namefromDay/var-name
  var-valueformFromDay/var-value
/var
varvar-namefromYear/var-name
  var-valueformFromYear/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoMonth/var-name
  var-valueformToMonth/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoDay/var-name
  var-valueformToDay/var-value
/var
varvar-nametoYear/var-name
  var-valueformToYear/var-value
/var
/field
/form

Do you have the properties in your form correct (i.e in this example
formFromDay, formFromYear, formToMonth, formToDay, formToYear).

Hi Niall,

I am attaching the validation.xml and the jsp that i have used.
I have done the exact thing that you had specified earlier before posting
to the mailing list.
I am not clear where i am going wrong.

The Struts-config entry goes like - 
form-bean name=ocsReportForm 
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm
form-property name=monthFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dayFrom type=java.lang.String /

Hi there,

I am new to Struts and this mailing list but by no means new to Java.  I
have been reading the Struts in Action book and taken a quick look at
the API etc and have a simple question regarding the Validator in my
environment.

We are an Application Service Provider and serve well over 1000 clients
(who in turn each have between 5 and 1000 end users using the system).
Although each client uses the same core application, they can have very
different views of data and input forms and may have very different
validation requirements.

Is it possible to specify validation config at runtime when using the
struts validator?  So each of our clients could have a configuration
file that specified which validation XML file to use for a given input
form?  We could use a different form for each user but that would be
inefficient and a maintenance nightmare.. I want to call the same
form/servlet but have it display a different look  feel and have
different validation rules client side and server side.  At the moment,
the validation is very much tied to the presentation layer and I want to
decouple it.

This is really the last obstacle standing in the way of our migration to
a pure java solution using Struts..  The use of the validator would
simplify our solution a great deal and I will also be looking into the
possibility of our clients creating their own validation configuration
files (using a web interface of some sort)

any help or advice would be appreciated.

Regards,

Matthew

 This is what happens when the formName you specify in the
 html:javascript tag is not found by the validator.

 Since Struts 1.2.0 (and a little before in the nightlies, of course),
 this condition causes a JSPException to be thrown instead.

Do you think DynaValidatorActionForm could be creating the problem ?

hmm ... that's not my experience - the dynamic parts are rendered as they
should, but all the static javascript is then rendered too (instead of just
the relevant static methods).  I haven't tested 1.2 though.

 Hi All!
 
 I am attempting to use Struts Validator.
 
 All works well, but I am only using the required validation in my code.
 
 However, the JavaScript that gets generated, include other functions like
 checkEmail, minLength, etc. etc.
 
 Is this expected behaviour?

 This is what happens when the formName you specify in the
 html:javascript tag is not found by the validator.

 Since Struts 1.2.0 (and a little before in the nightlies, of course),
 this condition causes a JSPException to be thrown instead.

Re: Struts Validator

They are in two places, the struts specific validator files are in the
struts.jar - but validator is a commons component and its class files are in
commons-validator.jar.

Everything is shipped with the struts binary - look in the lib folder.

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?

2004-01-15 Thread Brown, James
Just to follow up with a few questions, based on the following statement:

It is my assumption in this scenario that the browser (IE) has cached the URL and data 
posted to said URL, thus it is able to redisplay the page with the data the user has 
entered.  

1. Is this a correct assumption?  

2. If yes, is this the expected behaviour of a browser for pages that are marked as do 
not cache?

3. If yes, is there any known mechanism to force the browser to not cache the POST 
data?

  James

  Your user tried to redisplay the result of an errant form, 
  and so WILL get the
  page with the error message.  If you want to display an empty 
  form, perhaps to
  allow the user to enter another set of data, you can provide 
  a link which the
  user can follow for a fresh form, or display the form in step

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?

2004-01-14 Thread Brown, James
Thanks.  I was confused by the fact that the behaviour is different if the page is 
submitted without error.  In the without-error scenario, the re-post as the result 
of the refresh does not contain the form values that would logically be contained in 
the with-error scenario.  Now, I just need to work myself out of the corner I am in 
- I need to prevent the refresh from redisplaying this data which I think is darn near 
imposibble.

 like:

 for validation i want to use the framework


 i guess:
 -DynaValidatorForm: validation rules are executed
 based on form name

 -DynaValidatorActionForm: validation rules are
 executed based on action mapping


 and what are the classes:
 ValidatorForm
 ValidatorActionForm

 for?

Two questions immediately come to mind from what you documented:

1. Does com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.forms.orgForm extend
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorForm
or
org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorActionForm

2. The 'input=org_edit.jsp is context sensitive.  Can you
reach org_edit.jsp from the same level as your /org_insert.do
action?

*** This sounds like the problem since you wrote you're seeing a
blank html page, as if it cannot find the JSP page.

All,

I posted this a few hours ago on the jakarta-commons list and have not come
up with a solution yet.  I decided to commit the sin of x-posting it here
since this may very well be a struts issue.

I hope this is not a newbie question.  I have RTFM several times.  I suspect
I must be missing something simple.  I have installed Tomcat 4.1.29 and
Struts 1.1 with the Validator included.  I have configured my installation
as follows

struts-config.xml:
form-bean  name=orgForm
type=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.forms.orgForm/
.
.
.
!-- Insert a new Org into the database --
action path=/org_insert
name=orgForm
type=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.actions.orgInsertAction
scope=request
validate=true
input=org_edit.jsp 
forward name=show_list path=/org_list.do /
forward name=error path=/GeneralError.do /
/action
.
.
.
message-resources parameter=com.hp.ipg.ne.pgpm.application/
.
.
.
  plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn
set-property property=pathnames value=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
  /WEB-INF/validation.xml/
  /plug-in

Validation.xml:

form-validation
formset
form name=orgForm
  field property=orgCode
depends=required
arg0 key=orgForm.OrgCode/
/field
/form
/formset
/form-validation

Application:properties:
errors.required={0} is required.

In the org_edit.jsp file contains the following code snippet:
logic:messagesPresent
   bean:message key=errors.header/
   ul
   html:messages id=error
  libean:write name=error//li
   /html:messages
   /ulhr
/logic:messagesPresent


I have stepped through the execution several times and see the validator
being activated.  I even see the failed validation (empty field).  However,
after the failed validation, it seems validator is unable to construct a
proper forward to send me back to the JSP page where the error was entered
(or not entered in this case).  I am simply forwarded to a nearly blank page
with minimal html and body tags.

I have tried changing the input parameter to point at a global  local
forward as well as an Action forward.  None of them succeed.  However, when
pointed at a forward the browser does display a message indicating that the
server was unable to look up a mapping for an action named /misc.  The
characters misc do not appear anywhere in my struts-config.xml file.  I am
guessing this must be some kind of default behavior.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

RE: Struts Validator question

2003-11-24 Thread LACKEY,DAVID (HP-PaloAlto,ex1)
Answer to Question 1:

public final class orgForm extends ValidatorForm 

Answer to Question 2:

I have double checked the case and spelling of the file name.  Both the
action and org_edit.jsp can be reached in the same directory.  I assume the
question you are posing has to do with the URL used to access either.  Both
can be reached in the http://localhost:8080/app_root directory.

I have looked at this too long so I may not be seeing something but I did go
through the exercise validating each of the configuration items against a
couple of struts books and the Validator document on the Struts site.  Its
late and I know I must be staring at the issue and just not realizing it.

I thing in validation.xml u must provide your setting as

   indexedListProperty=parameter
   depends=required,integer,positive
   arg0 key=rubis.strategy.label/
/field
You have specified it as

 Hi Frederic,
 
 I thing in validation.xml u must provide your setting as
 
 field
 property=orderNumber
 indexedListProperty=parameter
 depends=required,integer,positive
 arg0 key=rubis.strategy.label/
 /field
 
 You have specified it as
 indexedListProperty=parameters
 
 Plz Verify your validation.xml.

Re: Struts Validator and Hidden Field

2003-09-01 Thread Joe @ Team345
Octavia,

I bit of a guess on my part, but it sounds like you want to use the 
requiredif validator.  This allows a particular field to be required 
(or not) based on other fields.  The fact that this might be a hidden 
field should be, as pointed out by others, transparent to the validator. 
However, also pointed out is the most troubling question: if it is on a 
hidden field and your validation fails, what can your users possibly 
ever do to correct the situation?

Octavia Yung wrote:

Thanks for the responses, David and Wendy.

In order to determine if a particular form field is required, I need to
determine the property of another field.  Therefore, I thought it would be
best to hold this other property in a hidden field.

luck.  Any suggestions/ideas?  Thanks much!

You'll have to post some of your code before anyone will have any idea why
it's not working.

The Validator also logs copious amounts of info, you should be able to tell
if your rule is getting picked up from the XML file by looking in the logs.

As far as I was aware validating a hidden field is the exact same as
validating any other field.. just make sure the name of the field in your
html:hidden corresponds to a setter method in your form.  Then create your
own validate function within the form to check the variable is correct..

Re: Struts Validator mask

2003-08-22 Thread K.C. Baltz
I'm not familiar with the use of double quotes in regexes.  However, you 
seem to have the right idea.  Instead of quotes, try using \\ in place 
of each \ you want to match.  E.g.:

^\\(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+)+\\?$

Quick explanation

\\ - Must start with a single backslash

(\\[A-Za-z0-0_-]+)  - A pattern representing a backslash followed by one 
or more valid letters/numbers/symbols.  If - is the last character in a 
[ ] block, it loses its special meaning and just matches -. 



The pattern is wrapped in () and specified to occur 1 or more times with 
+. 

Finally, there's a trailing \\? saying the path may optionally end with 
\.  Don't know if you want that or not.

NOTE: this pattern won't allow \\.  Don't know if that matters.

K.C.

RE: Struts Validator

2003-08-14 Thread Brian McSweeney
Hi Steve,

Have you looked at the struts-validator sample app? The 'types'
examples
show most of the basic validations. If you've already looked at it, is
there anything that would make it easier to understand?

No I had not heard about the sample app. I looked again on the main 
Struts page and in the validator section there are 3 resources:

1) A validating Two fields match by matt raible 
(by the way - IMHO this method 
/or a different implementation which does the same thing, would be VERY
helpful to be a part of the main validator package as it is such a
common 
requirement)

2)DynaForms and the Validator  - a PDF document

3) Validating user input - a PDF document

Am I missing the link? Is it part of the struts bundle?

I think a link from the main validator page would be helpful as this is 
where I went to initially find out how to use the validator.

requiredif is in 1.1. Do you mean validwhen? If so, that's back in the
nightly build and will be in the next release.

Cool. :-)

 +1 for it works for me too.
 Not knowing javascript well, using the validator allowed me
 to quickly do client side validation.

 +1 for it isn't so easy to use. I think a REALLY simple default app
 that shows exactly how each different field validation works would
 dramatically increase the use of the validator, which would in turn
 dramatically increase the quality of the validator.

Have you looked at the struts-validator sample app? The 'types' examples
show most of the basic validations. If you've already looked at it, is

 Even a single jsp page for each field type and a submit button would
 be a help. I only really use it for required strings and emails for
 example. Even though I tried and failed to use required if
 functionality. It's
 a pity that this feature couldn't be included in the struts 1.1
release.

RE: Struts Validator-nextreleasewhen (was validwhen)

2003-08-14 Thread Van Riper, Mike
With great trepidation, I must inquire as to the likelihood of a next
release of the commons-validator in the near term future. (ducking for cover
now as the flames telling me to read the Apache release process policy on
the web site are fired off in my direction ;-)).

Seriously, I did look in the bug database already. If my search was setup
correctly, I only saw 5 open bugs against Validator (amazingly low number
given that it is supposed to be crap) and they were all categorized as
enhancement requests.

I suspect that not too much has changed since the version that shipped with
Struts 1.1. So, you may not want to push out a new release at this time.
However, it is unfortunate that the ability to modularize development of
larger apps with multiple struts-config files and multiple application
resource files is pretty much there in the Struts 1.1 release except for
mutliple resource files support in Validator. Since it looks like the
support for bundle attributes was added at least at the arg level, a dot
release now of just the commons-validator would make it possible to use
multiple resource files to some degree with the Validator in a Struts 1.1
webapp.

I'm not looking for a fixed date commitment. I realize it is all volunteer
efforts on this stuff that can't be held to any particular schedule. I'll
totally understand if there are no plans to move towards a dot release of
Validator anytime soon, but, I am curious as to whether plans to move
towards a dot release are imminent or not even on the horizon.

 No I had not heard about the sample app. I looked again on the main 
 Struts page and in the validator section there are 3 resources:
 
 1) A validating Two fields match by matt raible 
 (by the way - IMHO this method 
 /or a different implementation which does the same thing, would be
VERY
 helpful to be a part of the main validator package as it is such a
 common 
 requirement)
 
 2)DynaForms and the Validator  - a PDF document
 
 3) Validating user input - a PDF document
 
 Am I missing the link? Is it part of the struts bundle?

Yes, it comes with the standard Struts distro.

David


 
 I think a link from the main validator page would be helpful as this
is 
 where I went to initially find out how to use the validator.
 
 requiredif is in 1.1. Do you mean validwhen? If so, that's back in
the
 nightly build and will be in the next release.
 
 Cool. :-)

2003-08-14 Thread Mark Galbreath
Dave,

My only complaint with the authors of validator is that (a) they say it's
really cheeky, but (b) a host of developers, including me, have complaints
about it.  It just doesn't work within the framework documented.  The List
is full of complaints and requests along these lines.  You can ignore me,
but just dip into the List archive and see.  I write my own validator
methods because I couldn't get Validator to work within the Struts
framework; looking at the archive, there are hundreds more that could not do
the same.

I am not looking for a war here.  All I ask is to get the damn thing right
before offering it as a release to our community.

 that's a bit harsh. I think as long as you know what it does and doesn't
 do, there's every reason to have confidence in it. It's an excellent
 package that will benefit even more when people use it and reports bugs
   or vote for existing ones or even submit patches in bugzilla :O

 I sense an opportunity to share something I got from the Ant mailing
 list recently (struts gurus feel free to slap me down if the same sort
 of thing doesn't apply to struts) :


 (1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch.  If
  you just send it to the list it could get lost over time.

 (2) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining why you think the enhancement is
  worth it.


For us, it is [EMAIL PROTECTED] of course.

 (3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion
  can go to the enhancement request and vote for it.


Lobbying on [EMAIL PROTECTED] is perfectly legitimate, too
:-).

 (4) be persistent.  It is often the case that committers have a lot of
  time for Ant development in one week and almost none in the next.
  This could mean you'll need to redo (2).


Exactly the same overall advice applies here, with only one wrinkle --
Struts relies on a lot of functionality imported from the Jakarta Commons
libraries (Validator being one of them), so it might end up being the case
that the enhancement request or bug report should really be filed there
instead of against Struts.  I wouldn't worry overmuch about getting it in
the right place, though -- there's lots of committers that are common to
both, and will help recategorize bug reports and enhancement requests as
needed.

One additonal tweak we've been using in Struts is that a bug report or
enhancement request that has a patch included (as an enhancement) should
have PatchAvailable added in the Keywords field, to make it easier for
committers to find them.

Release early, release often.

Most open source software would -never- get released if people waited

our community... and I'd rather be able to use unfinished betaware than

I like the concept of the validator, but personally I don't have a lot of
confidence in it.  The second thing I tried to do with it was use the
inRange (or whatever) test, and it didn't work.  I use it server-side and
only for required fields.

Subject: Struts Validator Javascript


 Working with the validator I found that the client-side javascript code
 automatically generated by the validator tag does not handle correctly
 or at all fields that are radio group , checkbox group or any other type
 of group that exist.
 I have posted few times on that but no response. After that I went and
 fixed the javascript code to do it correctly in the validateRequired()
 for instance. I am just wondering, am I the only one to use the client
 side validator avascript? Am I so special :) ? Or everyone else is doing
 it differently?
 I would appreciate any remark.

+1 for it works for me too. 
Not knowing javascript well, using the validator allowed me
to quickly do client side validation.

+1 for it isn't so easy to use. I think a REALLY simple default app 
that shows exactly how each different field validation works would 
dramatically increase the use of the validator, which would in turn 
dramatically increase the quality of the validator.

Even a single jsp page for each field type and a submit button would 
be a help. I only really use it for required strings and emails for
example. Even though I tried and failed to use required if
functionality. It's 
a pity that this feature couldn't be included in the struts 1.1 release.

However, at any rate, saying it's absolutely crap is both wrong 
and not so nice IMHO.

that's a bit harsh. I think as long as you know what it does and doesn't 
do, there's every reason to have confidence in it. It's an excellent 
package that will benefit even more when people use it and reports bugs 
 or vote for existing ones or even submit patches in bugzilla :O

I sense an opportunity to share something I got from the Ant mailing 
list recently (struts gurus feel free to slap me down if the same sort 
of thing doesn't apply to struts) :

(1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch.  If
you just send it to the list it could get lost over time.
(2) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining why you think the enhancement is
worth it.
(3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion
can go to the enhancement request and vote for it.
(4) be persistent.  It is often the case that committers have a lot of
time for Ant development in one week and almost none in the next.
This could mean you'll need to redo (2).

 No I had not heard about the sample app. I looked again on the main

 1) A validating Two fields match by matt raible

 2)DynaForms and the Validator  - a PDF document
 
 3) Validating user input - a PDF document
 
 Am I missing the link? Is it part of the struts bundle?

Yes, it comes with the standard Struts distro.

  Dave,
 
  My only complaint with the authors of validator is that (a) 
 they say it's
  really cheeky, but (b) a host of developers, including me, 
 have complaints
  about it.  It just doesn't work within the framework 
 documented.  The List
  is full of complaints and requests along these lines.  You 
 can ignore me,
  but just dip into the List archive and see.  I write my own 
 validator
  methods because I couldn't get Validator to work within the Struts
  framework; looking at the archive, there are hundreds more that
  could not do
  the same.
 
  I am not looking for a war here.  All I ask is to get the 
 damn thing right
  before offering it as a release to our community.

Subject: RE: Struts Validator



In the validation.xml file I believe that the validator takes

form name=StringWithoutForwardSlash  as validate based on form name
and
form name=/stringWithForwardSlash as validate based on the action
name.

Meaning that if the validator sees a formbean with the first examples
name
it does validation and then if it sees an action with same name as the
second example it will do validation on the associated form.

Anyway, in your example you have your action name with not slash so you
would have to have either:

form name=/ValidationType...OR
form name=ValidationTypeForm


You also need to keep in mind that you need to extend ValidationTypeForm
must extend ValidatorActionForm to use the action validation and
ValidatorForm to use the form validation.

 Validator is crap; don't waste your time.

Don't mind Mark, he's perpetually waking up on the wrong side of the bed. 
Validator is actually one of the coolest features of Struts and combined
with DyanActionForms reduces form coding time significantly.  I don't
think Mark ever got it working but it really doesn't take long to set it
up and start playing with it.

 A great deal of internal cleanup has happened in 
 commons-validator since

Cool! My company won't let me ship with nightly builds, but, I'd be glad to
test release candidates for an upcoming release against my webapp. If the
timing was right, I might even be able to include the new release in my
current project before it gets deployed. That won't be happening until the
November/December timeframe.

 So, you may not want to push out a new release at this time.
 However, it is unfortunate that the ability to modularize development of
 larger apps with multiple struts-config files and multiple application
 resource files is pretty much there in the Struts 1.1 release except for
 mutliple resource files support in Validator. Since it looks like the
 support for bundle attributes was added at least at the arg level, a
 dot
 release now of just the commons-validator would make it possible to use
 multiple resource files to some degree with the Validator in a Struts
 1.1
 webapp.
 
 I'm not looking for a fixed date commitment. I realize it is all
 volunteer
 efforts on this stuff that can't be held to any particular schedule.
 I'll
 totally understand if there are no plans to move towards a dot release
 of
 Validator anytime soon, but, I am curious as to whether plans to move
 towards a dot release are imminent or not even on the horizon.

RE: Struts Validator for map backed beans

2003-08-14 Thread Gandle, Panchasheel
Hi Yansheng

The one you suggested is for fields that are indexed and like codeId[0],
codeId[1], codeId[2]...codeId[n].
For map-backed beans it would be value(codeId0), value(codeId1),
value(codeId2)value(codeIdn)

in which it doesn't work, is there any other solution for map-backed beans
validator with multiple
input fields in an array...

Thanks
Panchasheel

Hi! Didn't get a chance to check the newsgroup until now.

Try:
 form name=myform
field property=value
 indexedListProperty = value
 depends=
arg0 key=/

I have a map-backed bean and the corresponding jsp displays

% 
int n=100; // n can be anything depending on DB data...
for (int i=0;in;i++;) { %
html:text property=value(codeId%=i%) value=/
% } %

I need the validator with just one entry value(codeId) in validation.xml
field property=value(codeId) ...

and not 100 fields declared in there.
field property=value(codeId0) ...
field property=value(codeId1) ...

Sorry, I'd like to help you.  But I don't quite understand what you are
asking.
What is I have codeId (0n) n varies?  If you want to know if you can
validate indexed properties, the answer is Yes.

See requireiif example on:

Can anybody confirm that map backed beans don't have validator.
like if I have codeId (0n) n varies.
On the Jsp I have value(codeId0)...value(codeIdn) the last char n is the
last number
to validate this , instead of entering n entries in the validation.xml
I wanted it to do it with just one entry value(codeId).

Does anyone know , if such validation exists, if yes please let me know.
or I have already started working on MapValidator.


Thanks

 that's a bit harsh. I think as long as you know what it does and doesn't
 do, there's every reason to have confidence in it. It's an excellent
 package that will benefit even more when people use it and reports bugs
   or vote for existing ones or even submit patches in bugzilla :O

 I sense an opportunity to share something I got from the Ant mailing
 list recently (struts gurus feel free to slap me down if the same sort
 of thing doesn't apply to struts) :


Can I also suggest:
  (0) make *sure* it's a bug before you post a bug report.

If you don't *know* that what you're experiencing is a *Struts* bug then the
correct place to explore the problem is on the struts-user list. If what
you're asking for is really an enhancement then mark it as such in Bugzilla.


 (1) open an enhancement request in bugzilla and attach your patch.  If
  you just send it to the list it could get lost over time.

 (2) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] explaining why you think the enhancement is
  worth it.

Bugzilla reports get sent to the dev list so you don't need to duplicate
that. Committers are also pretty active on the user list ;-)


 (3) send a mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the people who share your opinion
  can go to the enhancement request and vote for it.

 (4) be persistent.  It is often the case that committers have a lot of
  time for Ant development in one week and almost none in the next.
  This could mean you'll need to redo (2).

I would replace (4) with be patient. If you've opened a Bugzilla report then
it *will* get reviewed. But time is limited and certain issues will be dealt
with more quickly. Straight-forward items and serious items tend to get
closed more quickly, with those falling into the not serious, but not
trival, taking a little longer.

Keep investigating the problem. If you can come up with new information or a
patch, then that will serve as a much more useful reminder than just
repeating yourself.

Don't mind Mark, he's perpetually waking up on the wrong side of the bed. 
Validator is actually one of the coolest features of Struts and combined

RE: Struts Validator

2003-08-14 Thread Bailey, Shane C.


In the validation.xml file I believe that the validator takes

form name=StringWithoutForwardSlash  as validate based on form name and
form name=/stringWithForwardSlash as validate based on the action name.

Meaning that if the validator sees a formbean with the first examples name
it does validation and then if it sees an action with same name as the
second example it will do validation on the associated form.

Anyway, in your example you have your action name with not slash so you
would have to have either:

form name=/ValidationType...OR
form name=ValidationTypeForm


You also need to keep in mind that you need to extend ValidationTypeForm
must extend ValidatorActionForm to use the action validation and
ValidatorForm to use the form validation.

 I have a small sample app that works OK but cannot get my main
 app to work!
 As far as I can see I have done everything the same as in the sample one.

 I have noticed that when the sample app that works starts up I get four
 messages from the ValidatorPlugin the first pair mentions the
 validation.xml
 and the validator-rules.xml then later it says ValidatorPlugin
 initResources
 then the previous xml messages.

 With the real app that doesn't work I don't get these second 
initResources
 messages. I am not sure if this is significant or not, does
 anyone have any
 ideas?

 I have: -

   plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn
 set-property
   property=pathnames
   value=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml/
   /plug-in

 in my struts-config

 and

   form name=ValidationType
 field
   property=code
   depends=required
   arg0 key=validationCode.code/
 /field
 field
   property=constant
   depends=required,integer
   arg0 key=validationCode.constant/
 /field
   /form

 in my validation.xml

 validator-rules.xml are default

 my formbean is extending ValidatorActionForm

 and my action mapping is

 action
   path=/ValidationType
   name=validationTypeForm
   input=/jsp/validationtype/validationType.jsp
   type=com.mycompany.ValidationTypeAction
   scope=session
   forward name=Success path=/jsp/success.jsp redirect=true/
   forward name=Failure path=/jsp/failure.jsp redirect=true/
 /action

 I am using Struts 1.1 with Tomcat 4.1.24 on XP

 Can anyone help?

 Thanks

Time to put up or shut up, Mark. If there are specific bugs you have
encountered with Validator, please report them via Bugzilla so they can be
addressed. (Patches would also be nice).

Failing that, why not write something yourself and donate it so we can call
your hard work crap?

Otherwise, please give it a rest.

  You offered this to the OS community with insufficient

 Yeah, that's what open source is all about.

On the Jsp I have value(codeId0)...value(codeIdn) the last char n is the

 Keep investigating the problem. If you can come up with new information
 or a
 patch, then that will serve as a much more useful reminder than just
 repeating yourself.

I couldn't agree more with this statement.  Many reported bugs are poorly
described and just left in bugzilla for someone else to figure out. 
Continuing to pursue the issue and providing patches, ideas, or just more
information is critical to the bug getting fixed.

Subject: Struts Validator Errors - urgent!!


H i, This is a repost. I'm in need of a solution to the following problem.
Pl. suggest ! 

I'm tying to incorporate client-side validations using struts validator.
 
I've downloaded all related .jar files and placed them in /WEB-INF/lib.
 
I'm using commons-validator.jar (1.0.2).
 
When I'm trying to display the. jsp page in web browser. it's showing some
HTML tags as mentioned below: input type=text n
 
and in the console the exception thrown is:
javax.servlet.ServletException: org/apache/struts/util/MessageResources
at
org.apache.jasper.runtime.PageContextImpl.handlePageException(PageCon
textImpl.java:536)
 
And when I remove the statement validator:javascript
formName=supportviewForm/ from the .jsp page, it's displayed perfectly
in the browser.
 
What could be the reason? Is there any version conflict? When I searched in
the forums, I found that this error could be because incorrect version of
commons-validator.jar. But I downloaded 1.0.2 and am using that only.
 
And I also tried with html:javascript formName=supportviewForm/ for
struts 1.1. When I try to use Struts 1.1, I'm getting errors while
deploying:
- struts-config_1_1.dtd not found
- web-app_2_2.dtd not found
Any help is much appreciated.

Re: Struts validator, validating dates with pattern.

2003-06-18 Thread Eirik Kjølsrud
Hi Nagendra, and thanks for your suggestion !

That kinda worked... 
Using var
 var-namedatePatternStrict/var-name
var-valuedd.MM./var-value
  /var

resulted in the datefield being correctly validated to the dd.MM. format, but I 
would also like it to allow both these formats of date : 
08.11.1976 and 8.11.1976. I believe that the use of datePatternStrict force the use of 
leading zeros ?

How come when I use only datePattern instead of datePatternStrict, nothing is 
validated ?

Re: struts validator

2003-06-06 Thread David Graham
Also, It looks like Struts run-time does not validate validation.xml 
against
DTD, as a result any typo there are welcome without warnings.
This is a problem with commons-validator not validating the xml files.  I 
have been working to fix this but other problems have taken priority.

David

The problems in the java part of Struts might be solved with any Java IDE,
but the problems with XML part becomes a really personal problem of Struts
developers. Actually, it was a primary reason we start to develop Struts
Studio.

Re: struts validator

2003-06-06 Thread David Graham
Not sure all this talk of validator is that justifiable. I've had no  
issues generating both the client side and server side validation, and  its 
saved me a lot of work.

Like others i think it would be nice to define form beans and  validation 
rules in the same place but I like it as it is, unless  anybody has any 
alternatives?
One thing to consider is that Struts validation is based on 
commons-validator which reads its own xml config file.  Moving the 
validation configuration to struts-config.xml would require us to do all the 
validator setup in Struts rather than leveraging the commons-validator code.

David

Thats my 2 pence..

Re: Re: struts validator

2003-06-06 Thread Chuck Cavaness
Obviously I can only speak for the multiple projects (both my own and those I've 
consulted on), various articles and presentations that I've written on the Validator 
and of course the work that I've done with it while writing the Struts books, but the 
fact is that the Validator does work. 

Like other framework components underneath Jakarta, there are versions that have this 
bug or that bug. In general however, I have found the Validator to do everything that 
it was designed to do. I can't explain why some have had more trouble than others; it 
might just be the version of the software they were using at the time. Like many other 
facets about Struts and its related technologies, it can become unyielding at times, 
but is manageable.

So, for those of you who have yet to try it, don’t be afraid. Get yourself a book that 
covers it, read the docs, search the lists. Whatever you do, don’t reinvent the wheel. 
For lexical or syntactical validation (whether client or server side), the Validator 
gives you a development boost. You just have to take the time to learn how to use it.

 Not sure all this talk of validator is that justifiable. I've had no

 Like others i think it would be nice to define form beans and  validation 
 rules in the same place but I like it as it is, unless  anybody has any 
 alternatives?
 
 One thing to consider is that Struts validation is based on 
 commons-validator which reads its own xml config file.  Moving the 
 validation configuration to struts-config.xml would require us to do all the 
 validator setup in Struts rather than leveraging the commons-validator code.

I've been using the Validator for about two and half years now, and I 
have to agree, that it does seem to be finicky to setup at first, 
especially when I move from one implementation to another.

One problem may be confusion between the two Validator classes. (One 
uses the mapping attribute and the other uses the mapping path.)

But, once it is in, it works like a charm. It works particularly well 
with DynaActionForms, since you can then define both the ActionForm 
properties and their validations in XML.

In fact, the only problem is that it doesn't go far enough. What would 
be truly useful would being able to define both the ValidatorForm 
attributes and the DynaProperties as part of the same element. For extra 
credit, you could throw in an attribute to define what type of UI 
control the form is suppose to use. From there, it's not hard to imagine 
a tag that could look at this MetaForm and actually write a simple 
form for you. Update the MetaForm element, and the controls are added 
and subtracted ... as if by magic =:0)

Re: struts validator

2003-06-05 Thread Brian McSweeney
I use xdoclet to generate my validator stuff. There is a tag in the
strutsvalidationxml/ that allows you to use the dtd or not. I
set it there. Not sure how it actually works under the hood though.
Sorry :-( Anyone else know?

 I had initial trouble setting up the validator, mainly to do with it not
 working when you try to validate the dtd with a machine not connected
 to the net. It didn't give a good error explaining this. However, once I
 realised this was the problem, and set up the validator properly, it works
 really well. Especially, if, like me, you are new to javascript!

Re: struts validator

2003-06-05 Thread Mark Lowe
Not sure all this talk of validator is that justifiable. I've had no  
issues generating both the client side and server side validation, and  
its saved me a lot of work.

Like others i think it would be nice to define form beans and  
validation rules in the same place but I like it as it is, unless  
anybody has any alternatives?

Thats my 2 pence..

Re: struts validator

2003-06-05 Thread Sergey Smirnov
David,

We are currently inserting validation mechanism support in Exadel Struts
Studio, so we tested a difference aspects of Validation in Struts a lot. As
a result, I realize that the most significant problem of Validation
framework is not bugs that still exist. Most significant problem is an
exceptions set. Struts likes to throw exceptions and those exceptions inform
user what happen inside Struts framework, but not where the actual problem
is located in the user application. Very often exception message follows
user away from real problem, so even typo becomes a problem for hours.
Also, It looks like Struts run-time does not validate validation.xml against
DTD, as a result any typo there are welcome without warnings.
The problems in the java part of Struts might be solved with any Java IDE,
but the problems with XML part becomes a really personal problem of Struts
developers. Actually, it was a primary reason we start to develop Struts
Studio.

Regards,
Sergey Smirnov

yeah, well, DUH!  When are you guys going to realize that Validator should
never have come out here even in beta. It sucks.

I only did server-side validations, using v1.1b3, until I saw lots of people
complaining that v1.1rc1 wasn;t working for client-side validations.

I tried it (rc1) and it didn't work for me either. I haven't messed 
with the
nightly builds - just went back to 1.1b3. Its probably been fixed in the
latest, but since 1.1rc2 is coming out soon, figure I'll wait until then to
check it out again.

 in our office.

 i noticed that when i view the page source there is no javascript 
 generated unlike in the other pc. is there still i have to configure 
 or what? im using

 struts rc1.1 and j2sdk 1.4.1_02 and tomcat 4.1.24 as the web server 
 and sometimes JBOSS 3.0.6

simply proved wrong in implementation.  And I know I am not alone it this

Like I said, I dont use client-side, and its been pretty smooth sailing for
me. Sorry your experience was different, but personally, I like it.
Especially defining constants for validation masks and using them over and
over on lots of different forms in different projects even. And the
requiredif has been pretty handy for a number of cases to boot

Of course, there are still cases where I need to go to
validate() methods in the actions, but they are less
and less, just as I use actual FormBeans less and less,
now that i halfway grok DynaValidatorForms...

David,

We are currently inserting validation mechanism support in Exadel Struts
Studio, so we tested a difference aspects of Validation in Struts a lot. As
a result, I realize that the most significant problem of Validation
framework is not bugs that still exist. Most significant problem is an
exceptions set. Struts likes to throw exceptions and those exceptions inform
user what happen inside Struts framework, but not where the actual problem
is located in the user application. Very often exception message follows
user away from real problem, so even typo becomes a problem for hours. Also,
It looks like Struts run-time does not validate validation.xml against DTD,
as a result any typo there are welcome without warnings. The problems in the
java part of Struts might be solved with any Java IDE, but the problems with
XML part becomes a really personal problem of Struts developers. Actually,
it was a primary reason we start to develop Struts Studio.

Regards,
Sergey Smirnov
