RE: Validator Backend Issues
Joe, When using a Struts Validator based on the Action name, you usually need to add the 'method="validateSomeName"' because the Struts Validator wants to use the exact name in your validation xml file. In your case, that is "/Login" which matches your action. So, change your html:javascript and html:form along these lines: For more details see html:javascript and html:form in the Struts docs: http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/struts-html.html#javascript Regards, David -Original Message- From: Joe Hertz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 2:37 AM To: 'David Friedman' Subject: RE: Validator Backend Issues Don't laugh.

RE: Validator Backend Issues
David, Yes it does. Thank you. I wanted to use the DynaActionValidatorForm (ow! Ow! Ow! :-) because I do want it validated off of the Action, but when I saw the formName property, I didn't want to "lie" to it on general principles.

RE: Validator Backend Issues
Joe, Nope. I was writing to you about that but you found your solution faster than I could type (my poor aching fingers at 2AM!). When you said your 'formName="UserLoginForm"', that suggests you're keying off the action's ActionForm name 'name='UserLoginForm' for your validation. That's why you would use DynaValidatorForm. Using DynaValidatorActionForm is just like a DynaValidatorForm with one exception: it validates of the name of the action. So if your action is called /edit.do, it would need a form name of '/edit' such as: ... I also got stuck on this when I first started using the Struts Validator. I hope this explanation helps.

RE: Validator Backend Issues
Curious. Changing the ActionForm from a DynaValidatorActionForm to a DynaValidatorForm gets me backend validation.

Validator Backend Issues
I'm probably misunderstanding this woefully. Hope someone can set me straight. For my login, I'm using a UserLoginForm class that extends DynaValidatorActionForm. The Action class is an extension of DispatchAction (it handles all User related actions). If in my Login.jsp, I remove the tag,I get no javascript validations happening, which I would expect, but I also find that I *never* get any back end validation checks happening. Nothing shows up where the tag was. Is there something I have to do to get the validator to do it's magic outside of the client? -Joe - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
