Re: RE : RE : Validator and Dispatch Actions
On this same note, if I were then calling a dispatch method on that action class to load/pre-populate the page, I would also need to register yet another actionMapping that would use the same action class for the "type" parameter, but would just call the load method instead one of the submission methods, correct? Basically, if I'm breaking this down correctly, if someone is using Dispatch/LookupDispatch Action and the struts validator, they would need 1 ActionMapping to call in order to load the page (and it's dispatch method on the action class) as well as 1 ActionMapping for each of the "submission possibilities" they had on their JSP... i.e., if you wanted to validate 2 subsets of fields on the page, you'd have an actionmapping for each of them. Isn't the struts-config going to get quite cluttered and harder to follow if this is the pattern used? Is there a different approach that is recommended vs. this one?

Could you add this to the Validator Wiki FAQ ?

Be sure to give yourself credit
if you want to use different validation rules with the validator you
have to declare different action elements in your struts-config.xml file
(using the same action class if you want).
another means is to validate your form in the methods of your action
class as propose Koni in the mail sent on the list Monday, August 25,
2003 8:04 PM:
struts-config.xml:
LogonAction.java:
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
// Report any errors we have discovered back to the original form
if (!errors.isEmpty())
{
saveErrors(request, errors);
return new ActionForward(mapping.getInput());
}

Re: RE : RE : Validator and Dispatch Actions
In this case, if I have one "Save" button on my page, and want either Action
A or Action B to get executed, is the preferred method to set the "action"
of the form dynamically in a function, something like:
fnSetAction()
{
myForm.action="actionA";
myForm.submit();
}
Or is there a different preferred way of accomplishing this?

you don't need 2 action classes.
you may declare 2 actions in the struts-config.xml file using the same
class.
but you have to declare 2 formset tags in the validation.xml file,
setting up each form name with the action path instead of the form name.
in the first formset tag you define validation rules for all the fields
and in the second you do it only for a part of them.
using the first action will validate all the fields and using the second
will validate only a part of them.
