RE: Struts Validator and Select boxes
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 ?

Re: Map-backed Forms and Struts Validator
Hi Derek, from the ppt doc, it looks like validWhen is using a syntax that is designed for checking indexed properties. I haven't used it though. I assume that it would handle nested beans as well, in accordance with the rest of the action form functionality. But again, I don't know. Also it says you can't use validWhen until you upgrade to struts 1.2 or a nightly build. I admit, it doesn't look hopeful. Have you tried a simple test case using the syntax like in the ppt doc?

Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator
I`ve been looking some more into the case and I think its becoming more of a design matter... I dont know if I am using struts the right way or not. Problem is that I am building business logic into my forms.. Is this good or not? Should I make 2 different pages or use tiles or something completely else? problem is that on the first page I ask 5 questions to the customer. Based on their choices the second form is built up. all business related stuff... I tried to write a validator like requiredif but based on beans from somewhere in your scope struts logic can work on beans from your session or request scope because it has streight access to the pagecontext I dont find a way to really access my pageContext in the validator. but do you want your validator actually reading from your request scope or session scope? tnx for your time :) Alexander Craen - Original Message - From: "Alexander Craen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 3:38 PM Subject: Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator > Well , > > I thought about this as well.. however I cannot put bogus information in the > fields because their 'NULL' value matters to the registration process > > I would have to filter on the bogus information... which I would not like to > do > > tnx > > Alexander Craen > > - Original Message - > From: "Matt Bathje" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 3:24 PM > Subject: Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator > > > > Alexander - > > > > Usually when I have this situation I just put in an else (or a > > logic:notEqual in your case) which prints out the form field as hidden > with > > some "bogus" data in it.

Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator
Well , I thought about this as well.. however I cannot put bogus information in the fields because their 'NULL' value matters to the registration process I would have to filter on the bogus information... which I would not like to do tnx Alexander Craen - Original Message - From: "Matt Bathje" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 3:24 PM Subject: Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator > Alexander - > > Usually when I have this situation I just put in an else (or a > logic:notEqual in your case) which prints out the form field as hidden with > some "bogus" data in it.

Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator
Alexander - Usually when I have this situation I just put in an else (or a logic:notEqual in your case) which prints out the form field as hidden with some "bogus" data in it. That "bogus" data will be enough to make the validation pass of course. I had thought about doing the requiredifpresent or something like that, but this always seemed much simpler.

Re: Struts logic combined with the struts validator
Maybe i`ll better rephrase my question to make it more easy for the reader :) I want to make a field in a form required when it exists on the form if it is not on the form (due to some logic tags that make it disappear), I dont want to generate an error.

RE: Struts Validator overriding cache-control?
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?
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.

Struts Validator overriding cache-control?
We have encountered a situation wherein it appears that the server-side validation provided by the struts-validator and that of ValidatorForm.validate(...) appears to be overriding the controller's nocache value. The scenario we have encountered is follows: 1. user enters data on a page that is backed by a subclass of ValidatorForm 2. form is submitted but one of either server-side validation for a required field (set via the struts validator plugin) or the ValidatorForm.validate(...) method returns and ActionError. 3. the page is redisplayed with the appropriate error message(s). 4. the user corrects the form and submits. 5. the subsequent (success) page is displayed. 6. the user selects the browser's back button and receives the IE "Warning: Page has Expired" warning/error. 7. the user refreshes the page via the F5 key or the refresh button, and the page as displayed in step 3 is redisplayed. Our controller is set to not cache any pages via: The ValidatorForm/ActionForm's scope is also set to request, thus the page should be displayed empty. This situation only occurs if the form is submitted with data that fails server-side validation and the page is redisplayed. In a true "success" path, the page is displayed as desired - empty.

hi, just a question about using the validator-fw. i want to describe a formbean in struts-config incl. its proberties. 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? thanks jan __ Gesendet von Yahoo!

RE: Struts & Validator question
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
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:
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
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.

Indexed Properties & Struts Validator
I would like to know how to use the Struts Validator with indexed
properties.
I cannot display error messages under the field (but the validator
obviously works and performs validation).
Below is the relevant parts of my JSP ,valdiation.xml file and form :
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
being validated is indexed ?
If I try to modify the validation.xml in order to include :
indexedListProperty="parameter" rather than
indexedListProperty="parameters" (which I would image is the good thing
to do in order to match the "parameter[i].orderNumber" property name),
then I get an exception when validation happens.

Re: Using DispatchAction class with Struts Validator
Indeed, each dispatch method corresponds to a different jsp page. However, the "page" attribute is designed for building up an ActionForm from many different pages in wizard like way. I'm looking only to perform a specific type of validation on a subset of my ActionForm for each dispatch method. The only other solution I know of is to break up my DispatchAction to seperate Actions and use seprate ActionForms for each, not something I want to do unless absolutely necessary! -Burhan Mike Jasnowski wrote: > Do you have corresponding pages for each method?

Re: Struts Validator and Hidden Field
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.

Re: Struts Validator mask
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.

Commons Validator is usable outside of Struts but you'll have to do a bit more work to replicate what Struts does for you. Commons Validator provides some basic functionality that lets you build pluggable validations. However, it doesn't provide any pluggable validations out of the box. Also, you'll need to handle resource bundles and messaging yourself. Commons Validator exposes message keys and bundle names but you need to do the lookup to get the actual message text.

RE: Struts Validator
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. -Original Message- From: Stephen Bennett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 13, 2003 11:39 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Struts Validator Has anyone had any problems getting the Struts Validator to work?

Struts Validator
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 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: - in my struts-config 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?

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.

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 wait forever on vaporware.

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. Thanks, Van - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Panchasheel,
I am working with map backed action forms and the way to work with
validation in this case is as follows (a piece of my validation.xml):
(on my ActionForm there are getProperty and setProperty interfacing the
actual map - as in your case I guess it is 'getVolume() and
setVolume()).
mask
${username}
Hope this helps,
Erez

Subject: Using Struts Validator on Map-backed ActionForms
Hi,
I am trying to use the Struts Validator to generate Javascript
validation on
a Map-backed action form, but I keep getting "type is null or not an
object"
javascript error (I am using Struts 1.1). Non map-backed properties on
the
form work fine.
In the JSP I am creating text boxes using:
and have this method on the action form to get it:
public void setVolume(String key, Object value) {
volumes.put(key, value);
}
In the validation.xml I have tried:
and:
but both result in the error.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks,
Charles.
