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. How would I best solve this? make a new validator "requiredifpresent" ? or could I use the requiredif together with some logic based on values in other beans ? - Original Message - From: "Alexander Craen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, March 02, 2004 11:25 AM Subject: Struts logic combined with the struts validato > Hello, > I am making a registration procedure that works with some logic based on the > choices the customer makes on a previous page > > value="business"> > key="text.data.label.bill_vat_number"/> > > > > Problem description : > When a customer is of customertype 'business' the field bill_vat_nr is > showed on the page and is required when a customer is not of customertype > 'business' the field bill_vat_nr is not showed on the page and theirfor is > not required > > I tried to use a standard struts validator implementation > > > > > > I first thought about using the requiredif implementation.
