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
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).

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 -
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 /
form-property name=yearFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=monthTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dayTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=yearTo type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=actionType type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=pageNumber type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=numberOfRows type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dateFrom type=java.lang.String /
form-property name=dateTo type=java.lang.String /
/form-bean
Regards,
Janarthan S
