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 -

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

fromDay
  formFromDay

fromYear
  formFromYear

toMonth
  formToMonth

toDay
  formToDay

toYear
  formToYear




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

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 ?

Validator does use ORO - There is an applet you can play with to test your
regexp:

http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/demo.html

Choose the "contains" option and start/end your regular expressions with ^
and $

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

Re: Struts Validator prints all javascript functions

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

[Niall Pemberton]

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?

[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?

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?

[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.

  James

Re: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?

The sequence you described is the expected behavior.

My guess is the form was submitted using METHOD=POST.

This page is the result of a submitted form.

When the user selects the back button, he is trying to redisplay the page shown
in step 3, which can only be displayed by resubmitting the form.  IE will not
resubmit a form without informing the user, and therefore shows this warning to
tell the user.
>   7. the user refreshes the page via the F5 key or the refresh button, and the

This is expected because the form that was submitted in step 2 was resubmitted by
IE to display the page requested by the user.

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 5 along with your
"success" message.

ValidatorForm and ValidatorActionForm should be subclassed if you are not

RE: Struts validator with Date property ???

Change the type of date type to java.sql.Date you won't get that
exception. This is because the Beanutils which they use to copy the data
form request to form is not having a corresponding converter to convert
to java.util.Date but it has a converter to convert to sql date

RE: Struts & Validator question

[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.

RE: Struts & Validator question

[David Friedman]

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.

David

Subject: Struts & Validator question


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:

.
.
.





.
.
.

.
.
.
  

  

Validation.xml:




  






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

In the org_edit.jsp file contains the following code snippet:

   
   
   
  
   
   



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  and  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 with Indexed Properties

[Frederic Dernbach]

Vijay,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried what you suggested, with no success. I get an exception saying
that the getter method is not found :

java.lang.NoSuchMethodException: Property 'parameter' has no getter
method
at
org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils.getSimpleProperty(PropertyUtils.java:1180)

at
com.rubis.web.system.action.SubmitStrategyAction.save(SubmitStrategyAction.java:71)


Here are the getter/setter methods of the form :

private LinkedList parameters;

public LinkedList getParameters() {
return parameters;
}

public void setParameters(LinkedList parameters) {
this.parameters = parameters;
}   

public ParamInterfaceElementBean getParameter(int index) {
while( index >= parameters.size() ){
parameters.add(new ParamInterfaceElementBean());
}
return (ParamInterfaceElementBean) parameters.get(index);
}

public void setParameter(int index, ParamInterfaceElementBean parameter)
{
while ( index >= parameters.size() ){
parameters.add(new ParamInterfaceElementBean());
}
parameters.set(index, parameter);
}

Do you have a clue about what I'm doing wirng ?

Plz Verify your validation.xml.

I cannot display error messages under the field (but the validator

Below is the relevant parts of my JSP and of my valdiation.xml file :
Upon submission of the JSP's form, I can see the validator does not
validate the 'orderNumber' property if it is empty. But no error
messages is displayed.
Can an error message be displayed under the input field if the property

Re: Struts Validator and Hidden Field

[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?

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.

Re: Struts Validator mask

[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.

Just for those of you who don't have faith in it, it does work, but

Currently the only solution I have for myself is coding it myself and

RE: Struts Validator

[Bailey, Shane C.]

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

  as validate based on form name and
 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:

...OR



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.

RE: Struts Validator

[Mark Galbreath]

Me put up?  You offered this to the OS community with insufficient
documentation.  Just look at the archive for this list and I'll wager there
are more questions/complaints about Validator than any other aspect of the
Struts community.  Me shut up?  Why don't you guys PUT UP?

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.

Chuck keeps threatening me to come up to MD to show me that it actually does

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.

RE: Struts Validator

[Steve Raeburn]

I've included an example of the Two Fields custom validator in the examples
at http://www.ninsky.com/struts/

The bundled struts examples are found in the webapps directory of the struts
distribution (struts-validator.war).

There's lots of good stuff in that directory ;-)

Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work?

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

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

have any ideas?
I have: -

and

  

  


  

  
in my validation.xml

validator-rules.xml are default

my formbean is extending ValidatorActionForm

and my action mapping is

I am using Struts 1.1 with Tomcat 4.1.24 on XP

Can anyone help?

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...

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:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html

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.

> 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.

Thanks Shane, that fixed it.

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

  as validate based on form name
and
 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:

...OR



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.

Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work?
 
I have a small sample app that works OK but cannot get my main app to

I have noticed that when the sample app that works starts up I get four

RE: Struts Validator

[Jerry Jalenak]

+1 - Validator works.  I started using it wy back in the pre-RC1 days.
Everytime that Validator hasn't worked for me, I've found that it was due to
a screw up on my part (usually something in the validation.xml file).
Except for rare occasions, I haven't had to write a customized validate
method.  When I do have to, I try to extend Validator so I can continue to
use the tool.

+1 - Validator is not perfect.  While I haven't found any major bugs (at
least ones that haven't already been reported), Validator does have its
quirks - you have got to get the validation.xml file right or else it just
flat won't work.  Also, since Validator relies on your
ApplicationResources.properties file for its error messages, it may appear
that Validator is not working, when in reality, it just can't find the
message to return to the client.

+1,000,000 - There is only Us.  If not, then Micro$oft would be the only
choice for doing web development, and I'd have to find another career :-)

Mark - I'll offer this again.  I'll be more than happy to look over your
forms, struts-config.xml, validator-rules.xml, validation.xml, and
properties files and see if I can figure out why you can't get Validator
working.  Let me know.

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).

Re: Struts Validator Javascript

[Sgarlata Matt]

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.

RE: Struts Validator

+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.

+1 - Validator works.  I started using it wy back in the pre-RC1
days.
Everytime that Validator hasn't worked for me, I've found that it was
due to
a screw up on my part (usually something in the validation.xml file).
Except for rare occasions, I haven't had to write a customized validate
method.  When I do have to, I try to extend Validator so I can continue
to
use the tool.

+1 - Validator is not perfect.  While I haven't found any major bugs (at
least ones that haven't already been reported), Validator does have its
quirks - you have got to get the validation.xml file right or else it
just
flat won't work.  Also, since Validator relies on your
ApplicationResources.properties file for its error messages, it may
appear
that Validator is not working, when in reality, it just can't find the
message to return to the client.

+1,000,000 - There is only Us.  If not, then Micro$oft would be the only
choice for doing web development, and I'd have to find another career
:-)

Mark - I'll offer this again.  I'll be more than happy to look over your
forms, struts-config.xml, validator-rules.xml, validation.xml, and
properties files and see if I can figure out why you can't get Validator
working.  Let me know.

Release early, release often.

Most open source software would -never- get released if people waited 
till they got the damn thing right before offering it as a release to 
our community... and I'd rather be able to use unfinished betaware than

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.

Let me state the blindingly obvious:

  1. Validator works. Other people seem to be able to use it.
  2. Validator is not perfect. Valid bug reports would help make it better.
  3. This is a community project. There is no Us and Them, only Us. And, for
better or worse, that includes you.

Since you've not posted any bug reports about validator I can only assume
that you are either (a) blowing hot air, or (b) incapable of describing the
bugs you say you've found. If you aren't capable of making a meaningful
contribution, please at least don't waste other people's time with your
nonsense.

I'm not going to spend any more time batting this back and forth with you.
If you are prepared to provide constructive criticism and/or help improve
Struts, you'll find many people willing to accept your help and to offer
theirs in return. If not, well it's pretty easy to filter you out.

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?

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.

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.

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 ;-)

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Yeah, that's what open source is all about.  Deal with it.  Oh, did you find
the open source project with the good documentation?  Urban myth.

RE: Struts Validator

[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.

Mark

We don't work for you.  Steve is right. If you don't have any constructive
criticism or patches it's time to quiet down.

Yes, it comes with the standard Struts distro.

Commons Validator never validated the XML files until a couple of days ago
when I committed a fix for that.  This caught a few missing attributes in
the test XML files and should help you debug some configuration problems.

What are you using instead?  Once you get past the setup step it's *far*
easier to use the Validator and supplement it with custom coding when
needed.

RE: Struts Validator-nextreleasewhen (was validwhen)

[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?

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.

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?

requiredif is in 1.1. Do you mean validwhen? If so, that's back in the

I couldn't agree more with this statement.  Many reported bugs are poorly

Continuing to pursue the issue and providing patches, ideas, or just more

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

I'm tying to incorporate client-side validations using struts validator.

Re: Struts validator, validating dates with pattern.

[Eirik Kjølsrud]

Hi Nagendra, and thanks for your suggestion !

That "kinda" worked... 
Using 
 datePatternStrict
dd.MM.
  

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: Re: struts validator

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.

Re: struts validator

[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.

Re: struts validator

[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

[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

[Brian McSweeney]

I use xdoclet to generate my validator stuff. There is a tag in the
 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'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

[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

RE: struts validator

Beats me, dude.  I struggled with it for 3 days and said enough is enough,
and wrote my own validations in my Action classes.  If you look through the
mail archive, you'll see right off that this is what happens to the 
majority
of people trying to get Validator to work.
That's one reason I decided to volunteer over on commons-validator.  I've 
made a major effort to cleanup the validator code so that we can fix bugs 
faster and make it easier to use.  I'm definitely interested in fixing 
problems you have using it but with a description like, "it works sometimes

Re: struts validator

[Jeff Kyser]

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.

Good luck,
