else
return validateRequired(form);
}
function required () {

So does this mean that indexed properties for the validator do not work in
javascript? Or am I
doing something wrong?

Client Side Validation Question
Hi, I have a little problem with validation. I have a form with a field html:text that show the property de a bean in a session scope. If the field is empty at the load of the page the validation works right, but if the property have any value at the load the validation (required) fail. I think that cause is the render of the html:text to: input value=some value and the value is not null. If the form field is cleared in the screen is empty but code fail to validate. Are there a workaround for this? Thanks in advance. -- Juan Carlos Paramá - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: Struts check box validation question
right, so I'm assuming you're iterating over a list of all books somehow.
This is how I did something similar. In your submitting jsp:
c:forEach items=${books} var=row
.
html:multibox property=bookList
c:out value=${row.bookKey}/
/html:multibox
..
/c:forEach
in your struts-config:
form-bean
name=booktForm
type=org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorActionForm
form-property name=bookList type=java.lang.String[]/
...
in your action:
if( form instanceof DynaActionForm ){
DynaActionForm dynaForm = ((DynaActionForm)form);
String[] bookList = dynaForm.get(bookList);

Ben,
I am using a checkbox.
What I am planning to do is allow the user to check/select items/checkboxes
on the book display page and check/select the books he wants to delete from
Book store.
On submitting the form, I want to capture the set/list of checked choices
so that I can take it as a array and pass it to my deleteBooks() method in
my Action class.
Please let me know if I was not clear and I could append my sample code
snippets.
I appreciate your swift replies
Thanks,
~Samy

not too sure what you mean by your question, but I'd say no, you don't need
to pass in the array. You're using a String[] as the form property, right?

Looks like there is a functional change or bug in the action input attribute in Struts 1.1 - a forward name must be used instead of the location of a JSP or Action.

form validation question
I am having a curious problem with form validation.

RE: form validation question
Your orderForm does extend ValidatorForm instead of ActionForm right? The struts validator plug-in relies on your forms extending ValidatorForm in order to do server-side validations. Out of curiosity, you may want to see if client-side validation works first. html:form action=SubmitOrder.do onsubmit=return validateOrderForm(this) ... /html:form validator:javascript formName=orderForm/ When the submit button is pressed, if the required field is empty, you should get a message window indicating the field is required.

orderForm was extending DynaValidatorForm. I changed this to DynaValidatorActionForm - now the form validates (though it shouldn't - there's a required field missing).

how this simple thing works:
In an action I determine that the user (as described in a request parameter)

errors.add(userName, new

//Set the form variable because the
username came in from a GET not a POST.
editUserForm.set(userName,

return

}
...
}
properties file:
errors.userNotFound='{0}' was not found.
On the page mapped to userNotFound it displays as:'{0}' was not found
I thought by having the first parameter to errors.add() with the same name
as an attribute on the form bean it would automatically fill in '{0}'

Custom Validation question
Seeing as I'm doing so well today, getting my problems solved,
I thought I'd give this one a go.
I am validating some fields automatically using a ValidatorForm.
However, some fields I validate myself by overwriting the validate
method
as follows:
public ActionErrors validate( ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request ) {
// this should call the validate on the automatic stuff
ActionErrors errors = super.validate( mapping, request );
if (errors == null) {
errors = new ActionErrors( );
}
.my custom validation.
return errors;
}
Now what I am trying to do is use custom validation to validate a credit
card.
For example,
if ( field1==specific_value field2==other_value ){
validateCreditCard( field3 );
}
What I would like to know is, if there is a way to call the built in

Validation question
I am trying to set up the Struts validator to have two required fields on my input form; userid and acesloccd. When the input form should display I get an error msg: Error Message: No getter method for property acesloccd of bean org.apache.struts.taglib.html.BEAN The input form never displays so it never gets submitted. I would have expected to get something like this on submitting the form. I have a get method for acesloccd in the ActionForm associated with submitting input. Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong will be greatly appreciated. Robert Hurdle
Validation question
Never mind. Next time I'll search the archive before asking the question. The answer came from Craig McClanahan. Struts uses the naming design patterns of the JavaBeans specification. Therefore, if you have a property named foo, it looks for methods getFoo() and setFoo(), while a method fooBar would get translated to getFooBar() and setFooBar(). You can also override these method names by providing a BeanInfo class for your bean -- see the JavaBeans spec for more information.
Struts Validation Question
I've been trying to make validator work with our application. However, I've
not been
very successful. Here is what I did. Please let me know if I missed
anything.
I've created a form with firstName and LastName fields. The validator
should
see if that the form is not empty. Howver, when I don't fill in and submit,
I get
to the next page. I don't see the validator checking for errors and
reporting.
I followed the guidelines in http://www.onjava.com/lpt/a/2912
1) Put the commons-validator.jar,jakarta-oro.jar and the struts.jar in the
lib folder
2) Put the validator-rules.xml file in the web-inf directory.
3) created the validator.xml file in the web-inf directory and put the
following in the
validation.xml file:
form-validation
!-- == Default Language Form Definitions =
--
formset
form name=com.gdm.form.FBOrder
field property=firstName
depends=required,minlength
arg0 key=orderForm.firstname.displayname/
arg1 name=minlength key=${var:minlength}
resource=false/
var
var-nameminLength/var-name
var-value5/var-value
/var
/field
/form
/formset
/form-validation
4) Created the ActionForm class and extended it from validator.form
5) Called the ((FBOrder)form).validate(..) method from the action class
6) Created the following code in struts-config.xml
plug-in className=org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn
set-property
property=pathnames vaue=/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml /
/plug-in
7) put the following code in the jsp page.
logic:messagesPresent
bean:message key=errors.header/
ul
html:messages id=error
libean:write name=error//li
/html:messages
/ulhr
/logic:messagesPresent
7) Put the following in the applicationresources.properties file.
button.cancel=Cancel
button.confirm=Confirm
button.reset=Reset
button.save=Save
# Errors
errors.footer=
errors.header=h3font color=redValidation Error/font/h3You must

RE: Struts Validation Question
What does your action mapping look like in the struts-config? Also, I
believe, by the time you are in the action validation will already be
performed (once you have it working properly). So you don't have a call to
validate() or anything to do with validation in the action.

Iteration and Validation question
hi all, I have a case where i iterate a list and create text box for each iteration. I use the logic:iterate tag to do this. How can i use the standard validation xml to do validation in this case. Is it possible to use the standdard validation or will i have to write my own validate method. Regards Ashok Madhavan - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
RE: form validation question
The values specified in the arg0...arg3 are used by the validator as a
replacement for the generic pattern {0}. If you give a closer look to the
properties you should import(unless you won't specify yours) when using the
validator, one of these will be:
{0} is required
What the arg0..arg3 causes is actually the value in the {0} to be replaced
by what you specify. So in your case you should see something similar to the
following:
phone(value from bundle) phone.ext(value from bundle) required
or
phone.ext(value from bundle) required

Validation Question
I have layed out my application to use tiles in which, it has the usual tiles like header, footer, bodyContent etc, inwhich the bodyContent is dynamic. For each page I have a form that redirects it to the tiles/template and appropriately setting the dynamic bodyContent page. The sequence goes like : 1) MainPage 2) UserInfoPage 3) AdditionalUserInfoPage and so on. I had set up the struts application to call the Validation info on the UserInfoPage to set certain required fields. It worked fine. Recently I inserted a new page 'LoginPage' between the 'MainPage' and 'UserInfoPage', which also had its own validation for userId and password. Since I have added this page, whenever the validation fails on either the LoginPage or the UserInfoPage, it redirects to the MainPage Am I missing anything ? Nizar.

Validation question
First I'd like if this is already answer on this list ( I did try to search on the archive thou) My form been has a float properties with get/set method use float. The user on my web page enters a invalid float value string The question here is why my ActionForm bean does not throw exception rather then setting the property to 0.0? I do understand I should using String for all my form properties, but it is intrigued to understand this. Any suggestion?
Form Validation Question
Hello, I'm using a single Action Mapping for both adding and editing an entity. The mapping looks like this: action path=/editAuthorityLevel type=com.wellsfargo.pcsweb.controller.EditAuthorityLevelAction name=authorityLevelForm input=/editAuthorityLevel.jsp scope=request forward name=success path=/editAuthorityLevel.jsp/ /action The idea is, if we come into ../editAuthorityLevel from a link that says Add Authority Level, then there'll be no form parameters, the authorityLevelId consequently will be null, and the EditAuthorityLevelAction class can do nothing in this case. If, on the other hand, we come into ../editAuthorityLevel from a form that says Edit Authority Level, then the form fields (especially authorityLevelId) will not be null. In this case, if looks up the appropriate bean and populates the form with the corresponding values. This works great until I introduce form validation. If I implement the form's validate() method so that it returns a non-empty ActionErrors if required fields are not filled in, then this happens when coming in from the Add Authority Level link. When this happens, Struts skips the EditAuthorityLevelAction class and tries to go directly to ../editAuthorityLevel.jsp. This is bad because EditAuthorityLevelAction populates several page beans that the JSP needs. The central problem is this: I'm using the ActionForm to shuttle data from the Model side to the View side. In one case, it's used to swizzle data out of the model and show it in the JSP's edit form. In the other case, it's used to collect data from the form and send it (through the Action) back to the model. Only in the latter case do I care about form validation. Yet Struts imposes validation in both directions. How do I get around this? Cheers, David A. Ventimiglia Wells Fargo Private Client Services (415) 396-0414 (work)

RE: Form Validation Question
You can also set validate=false in your mapping, but call the form's validate method in your Action, that way you get to decide when to turn validation on. Of course there's the additional hit of going to the action every time, in this case.

As long as I use the same ActionForm for both show me a blank form so I can add and show me a populated form so I can edit, and that ActionForm implements validate(), then there's validation. Is there a way to turn this off? The alternative, which may not be so bad, is for the validate() method to inspect the form fields and to decide to actually check for empty fields if we're in show me a populated form so I can edit mode. Actually, that's not bad at all because it fits with the overall semantics. In other words, I was originally thinking the validation rule is: The Authentication Level's 'Name' field may not be empty. But upon further reflection, it's clear the validation rule is really: The Authentication Level's 'Name' field may not be empty, UNLESS this is the special case of the 'Insert Row'. Where 'Insert Row' is defined to be a bean whose primary key (eg., authenticationLevelId) is null.

The mapping looks like this: action path=/editAuthorityLevel type=com.wellsfargo.pcsweb.controller.EditAuthorityLevelAction name=authorityLevelForm input=/editAuthorityLevel.jsp scope=request forward name=success path=/editAuthorityLevel.jsp/ /action The idea is, if we come into ../editAuthorityLevel from a link that says Add Authority Level, then there'll be no form parameters, the authorityLevelId consequently will be null, and the EditAuthorityLevelAction class can do nothing in this case. If, on the other hand, we come into ../editAuthorityLevel from a form that says Edit Authority Level, then the form fields (especially authorityLevelId) will not be null.

RE: Form Validation Question
You can turn off validation by specifying validate=false in your action: !-- invoke action with validation -- actionpath=/path1 type=com... scope=... name=... validate=true input= forward name=success path=/processingPath/ /action !-- invoke the same action but no validation -- actionpath=/path1NV type=com... scope=... name=... validate=false input= forward name=success path=/processingPath/ /action Mark -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 3:57 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Form Validation Question I would, except I don't know how to turn validation off in the Action Mapping in struts-config.xml.

Thanks! -Original Message- From: Ady Das-O'Toole [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, April 05, 2002 12:51 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: RE: Form Validation Question You can also set validate=false in your mapping, but call the form's validate method in your Action, that way you get to decide when to turn validation on. Of course there's the additional hit of going to the action every time, in this case.

Re: Validation Question?
The issue is associating error messages, error message arguments, and validation information like masks, dates, etc. for different locales. Also it would start getting messy having regexp expression and other things all directly associtaed with the custom jsp tags. Also, to store this information in the jsp page would start cluttering your view with business logic. There are a few other validation frameworks that people have written. They are posted here if you want to look at them. http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/resources.html David --- Matt Koidin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a straightforward way to handle basic form validation. I downloaded the Struts Validator from Dave Winterfeldt and I really like the capabilities, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution that is more generic? My big problem with the Validator design is the need for another xml file that I need to fill out for every form I want to validate. Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way a) either using this tool, or b) with another validator - that I can validate a field at the tag level. For example, I'd like to write: html:text property=firstName size=30 maxlength=30 validate=required/ -or- html:text property=email size=30 maxlength=30 validate=required, email/ and not have to deal with a FORM-SPECIFIC xml file. Obviously, I'd have to detail what it meant to be required and what a valid email is. That seems to be done with the validator-rules.xml file. Why can't I access that directly? I might just go build this myself, but I was curious if it has already been done, or if I am missing something with the Struts Validator.

Struts Validation question
when using the struts validator, what happens if you define a validation for a field and the field does not exist? Does it skip the field (this is what I would like). - Sandeep __ Do You Yahoo!?

Re: Struts Validation question
It doesn't skip it just like if you define an html:text on your JSP and the field doesn't exist it causes an exception. I don't think it stops validating though since all exceptions are caught.

Form Validation Question
If I want to use form validation with my ActionForm bean, what should I specify for the input attribute of my action defition? Should it reference the JSP page that renders the form (e.g. /login.jsp) or should it reference the action responsible for presenting the form (e.g. /login.do)? All of the examples that I've seen show the input attribute pointing to the JSP page; however, when I do this I notice that my page doesn't render properly because it is dependent on some information that is set in the associated action class. If I put an action path in the input attribute I think I can solve my problem, but I'm not sure if this is an appropriate use of the architecture. Thanks for the help.

Re: Form Validation Question
You can put in any url in the input attribute. So there isn't a problem having input go through an action.
