ValidatorForm vs. ValidatorActionForm
Hello, I'm in the process of writing all the Java standards for my company right now, and I'm making my way through our Struts standards and I realized we have some projects that are using ValidatorForm and some that are using ValidatorActionForm. I understand the difference between them, and it seems to me that there would be no harm in making ValidatorActionForm our standard. There are reasons to use ValidatorActionForm over ValidatorForm, but none that I can think of to use ValidatorForm over ValidatorActionForm. Am I missing something? Can anyone think of a reason why I would not want to use this as our standard?

RE: JspException: null in doStartTag() of form tag
David, Thanks so much! You wouldn't believe it, but I already HAD log4j in there and totally missed the error message that was causing me problems. Your response made me recheck it, though, and I caught it - my local engine couldn't connect to the location I had for my dtd file in my web.xml. Of all things!

JspException: null in doStartTag() of form tag
Hello, I've created struts forms before with no problems, and have been working with them for over a year, and I'm suddenly having a horrible time creating a small test form, and I have no idea what I'm missing. The error that I'm getting is completely unhelpful: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: null I've been able to debug and know that the error is occuring when doing the lookup() method in the doStartTag() method of the form tag. It's like it's not able to bring in the struts-config? I feel like I've done everything possible to strip this down to the most basic form possible, and I'm ripping my hair out trying to figure out what's happening. Here's my struts-config: Here's my jsp: Submit I can't make it any easier! Anyone have any suggestions?

Re: Validate just certain fields
Jasper, Thank you for your response. I'm not sure you understand my issue, though. Either that, or I didn't understand your response, which is quite likely, as I'm no old pro at this validation stuff. The form has working validation on all the fields that require validation, using the validation framework. Let's say the form has 10 fields and 7 of them need validated for whatever reason. There's also two buttons on the form: ButtonA and ButtonB. ButtonA submits the form to our backend system. When ButtonA is hit, the 7 fields are validated and everything is working perfectly. ButtonB does NOT submit the form, it just does a simple calculation. However, because it needs to use 2 of the fields in order to do that calculation, it needs to validate those two fields (that are part of the 7). Because it does NOT need to validate the other 5 fields, I can't do validation on the whole form (or at least, don't want to). I know I can programmatically do validation on the 2 fields, but that means I have validation in two separate places - one in my validation framework, and one in my code. For instance, one of the fields is an integer that can't be higher than 5. What if that changes to 10 one day? I have to change it in two places, and I don't want to do that. Is it possible for me to make it use the validation I have set up in the validation.xml file for only 2 of the 7 fields? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Validate-just-certain-fields-tf1850707.html#a5066921 Sent from the Struts - User forum at Nabble.com. - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Validate just certain fields
I'm using the Struts Validator framework. I have a form with two buttons on it, one that calculates a subtotal and one that submits the form. I have validation set to false, because I don't want to validate the shipping address/email/phone number/etc when they calculate the subtotal. So, I do a form.validate() when the submit button is hit. However, I DO want to validate the values they put in for quantity, etc. I know I can write validation for it all, but then my validation is in two places - is there any way to "tell" it to validate JUST a certain set of fields?

How to skip validation?
Hello, I have a number of Struts forms that are using the Validator. This works great except for on a couple of the forms. The ones in question have two submit buttons on them. One updates the form somehow - calculates a subtotal, or adds an attachment to a list of attachments, etc. And the other actually submits the form. How to do I turn OFF the validation for the subtotal calculation, etc. buttons? I don't want to validate the data until the form is actually submitted.
