What is the best way to solve it, should i put datereqList in session?


It sounds like you have your action's 'input' property pointing directly 
at the JSP. Your best bet is to have two action mappings, one for 
displaying the form and one for processing it on submission. Then set 
the second mapping's 'input' to point to the first mapping. Now, 
whenever the form is displayed -- either initially, or following 
validation errors -- the form-display action will be called, giving you 
a place to load the list into the form.

Hi
The error is thrown by validator frame work, and hence it never reaches
action class where i can load those list again,
I am not very sure how validtor framework works

Re: Validation chaining in struts2

[Ted Husted]

Struts 2 uses a hierarchical approach to validation which could be
used to support a multi-page workflow. (Struts 1 simulates a hierarchy
by using the page property on the ActionForm.) The validation follows
the Java class, not the action mapping. If class2 extends class1, then
when class2 is validated, the validations for class1 also fire.

If you like to collect all the methods for a workflow into a single
class, then, in practice, class2 might be an empty class that only
exists to appease the XWork Validation system.

Re: Validation chaining in struts2

[j alex]

Ted,

Regarding field validations, can you provide any reason why the validwhen
validator is not provided in Struts 2? . I think this is a step backwards
from Struts 1 where we could easily manage conditional validation (validate
fieldb only if fielda  fieldc meet some condition)

Also, the validators in Struts 1 returned true/false for success/failure,
and we had the option of adding messages or not ; but in Struts 2 the only
way to tell a validation failed is by the presence of errors on the field.

Both of these limitations (if you will) make conditional validation (without
error message for the condition itself) almost impossible.

Hope i'm not missing anything here. Please let us know your thoughts

Thanks,
Joseph

It's important to remember that Struts 2 is not a direct port of
Struts 1. The codebases developed in parallel over a number of years.
I expect it's simply that no one has written a validwhen validator for
XWork yet. The Commons Validator didn't have one for a long time too.


 Also, the validators in Struts 1 returned true/false for success/failure,

I never used the Common Validator that way myself. People often make
complex validations in the Action method and then let the framework
handle the simple cases.

Of course, there's much to be desired in either validation framework,
which is why Jason has been trying to get a JSR going.

 * http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=303

Though, I'm not sure if much headway is being made.

Personally, I'd like to see a fresh approach to validation that also
included type conversion and text formatting as part of the workflow,
and that did not throw away internally-created objects, just so that
we can convert them a second time. I'd also like to see an API that we
could implement in JavaScript, as well as Java and C#.  (Or maybe a
JavaScript API that we could use via Rhino or JScript.)

Now see what happens when you ask for my thoughts!

Hey Joseph. I think thats something similar to what I am asking but I am not
even quiet sure. I was also wondering what if I have a method in class and I
have ClassName-methodName-validation.xml file which would validate those
base things so then in struts.xml I can do
type=redirect-actiontoThatMethod  and when it redirects it will
automatically do the validation from that xml. So would that serve my
purpose?

Hello friends,

I am using struts 1.2.9. In my project, I have to navigate along the
five jsp pages. For each page I have one next button which updates the
data to the database. During that time I have to do only mask validation
and not required validation. In the fifth page I have one save button.
On clicking that I have to do required validation  for all the previous
pages and then update the database. How to do this?


You need to have all the inputs available when the 5th page is submitted 
-- either by gathering them in a session scoped form as you work through 
the prior pages, or by including the inputs from prior pages as hidden 
fields in each subsequent page.


Then you just write validation rules as normal for the final page, 
including the required rules.


This workflow sounds a bit cumbersome, though; what if the user didn't 
enter a required field on page one? They don't find out they made a 
mistake until four pages later? Obviously I don't know your exact 
requirements, but that sounds kinda painful... ;-)

Dear Struts Users,

I have a form with 13 form controls on it. I'd like to use the Struts 
Validation Framework to validate it, but it's acting weird.
What I'd like to do is to have AT LEAST ONE of the controls filled, but the test of 
validWhen only allows simple boolean expressions.
I used a simple approach of checking each control for their value being null 
but the test cannot containmore than one boolean operator.
For instance, the following works just fine:

var
var-nametest/var-name
var-value ((*this* != null) or (suly != null)) 
/var-value
/var

But if I insert another control test, I get an error message saying ValidWhen Error 
for field ' magassag' - line 1:37: expecting RPAREN, found 'or', so no more than 
two conditions are allowed in a test.

Is that true? Is there any way to create complex tests? Or is there a way to 
validate the form for having at least one field filled?


The grammar for validwhen expressions is rather limited; you can only 
have one operator per group. The solution is to add additional parentheses:


  var-value(((*this* != null) or (suly != null)) or ...)/var-value

Do you have struts.devMode = true?

I had the same problem and I was forced to change struts.devMode = false

I believe this is a change from 2.0.6  ( and in some regards, a worse one at

I'm still investigating it, but please try turning devMode off and seeing if
it helps.

   public Integer getAddressIndex() {

   }

   public void setAddressIndex(Integer addressIndex) {
   this.addressIndex = addressIndex;

}


As much as I like Struts 2, I am having a hard time debugging why some
interceptors fail. There is no error message. Nothing. It just returns the

As much as I like Struts 2, I am having a hard time debugging why some
interceptors fail. There is no error message. Nothing. It just returns
the input page.

Ah. Yes. And it was. I have gone on and found a work around using dynamic

Here is the form part of editProfile.jsp:

I am thinking that this did not solve the problem, but rather squelched
the only message that gave me a clue as to what might be happening.

So back to the original problem. Here is the struts config:

com.ourcompany.struts.action.profile.Profile

   result
name=input/WEB-INF/pages/profile/editProfile.jsp/result
   result name=error/WEB-INF/pages/error.jsp/result

Here is the class:

public class ProfileAddress extends Profile {

private String street1;
private String street2;
private String city;
private String state;
private String zip;
private String phone;
private String securityQuestion;
private String securityQuestionAnswer;
private Integer addressIndex;

public String doSave() throws Exception {

Hello,

Saying your client is experiencing the same problem doesn't really
tell us alot. If they are running Struts 1.2.9 then they should see
different markup being rendered for the form (i.e. it should be
rendered with an id attribute rather than name) - is that the
case? If not it would suggest they are not running Struts 1.2.9. If
they do see that then as well as the fixes to Struts - there were also
related changes in Commons Validator - I believe in Validator 1.2.0
(but I would recommend the latest Validator 1.3.1 which is compatible
with Struts 1.2.9) - so they also need to make sure they have upgraded
to that version of validator.

Yes - They are seeing id instead of name in the generated form tag.  You
are correct about the commons jar.  They had an old version of that.  I just
tested with 1.3.1 and it works fine.

Thanks for your help and the speedy reply.

Re: Validation Annotations

[Antony Stubbs]

I have the same issue. atm I send everything to !input which is by default
excluded from validation.

But try looking at something like this in your struts.xml:
interceptor-ref name=crudStack
param name=validation.excludeMethodsedit,create/param
/interceptor-ref 

I haven't tried it yet, not quite sure how it works.
You can see here that by default, input, back and cancel are excluded from
validation. (this comes from struts-default.xml):
interceptor-ref name=validation
param name=excludeMethodsinput,back,cancel/param
/interceptor-ref

How are you naming your form fields, both on the JSP and in the validation?
Are you still using the modelClass.fieldName or just fieldName, and are they

[Balazs Michnay]

Thanks guys, now it perfectly works. As a conclusion, most of the online 
articles on how to use the validation framework work just fine, but they all 
missed the validate=true attribute.
Besides this, I had a wrong value of my action's input attribute.
Thanks again, you are very helpful.

Regards,

  Balazs

Re: Validation on java.util.List

[Alex Wibowo]

Hi Dave,


I came up with my own solution. Basically I wrote a method that I called
manually (i.e. I didnt use expressionvalidator annotation)..
in that method, i perform the check myself. If there was any error, I did

addFieldError(customers[index], getText(some.text.from.properties.file
));


then in the JSP, i have to put the fielderror in the right place.

e.g.:

c:forEach begin=0 end=10 var=i
   s:textfield key=customers[${i}].username /
   s:textfield key=customers[${i}].age /
   s:fielderrors
 s:paramcustomers[index]/s:param  %--- cant remember
the exact syntax.. its in their documentation --%
/s:fielderrors
/c:forEach


I didnt use expressionvalidator annotation, since the attribute message is
compulsory. I dont want to set message attribute, since I am creating the
fielderror manually by hand (and I think the message will go to actionerrors
instead of fielderrors). Anyway, I hope that helps you out.
It is not the best solution.. so if you found a better way to do it, please
let me know.

I don't know if this is a better way or not and it
does not use annotations (at least not yet), but...

(1) Create a validation config file for the *object*
(in my case, DummyUser-validation.xml; I'm just
testing, and I'm a dummy :) - that's the object under
validation, not the Action.

(2) Annotate the Action's method as usual, but add a
@VisitorFieldValidator on the list of collections,
like so:

@Validations (
// Other validators, then:
visitorFields = {
@VisitorFieldValidator(
fieldName = users,
message=, 
appendPrefix=true
)})

This eliminates the need to manually insert the
s:fielderror.../ element.

So my Action has a ListDummyUser _users with
appropriate getter/setter. The VisitorFieldValidator
is validating on this object (the list) and by magic
knows what validation file to use (I'm assuming via
type; I currently have @Element specified but it's
probably not required:

@Element(value=DummyUser.class)
@CreateIfNull(value=true)
private ListDummyUser _users = new
ArrayListDummyUser();

HTH,

If you annotate the class contained in the collection
the @VisitorFieldValidator still works.

This won't work for me, because my class is being
generated by HibernateTools (for now, anyway; I may
switch to annotated POJOs) so I still need to use the
XML validation config, but there you go.

Re: Validation on java.util.List

[Alex Wibowo]

Hi Dave,


Thanks for that.. I will have a look at the VisitorValidator tomorrow (its 1
AM here :P )
I am sort of in the same position as you (using Hibernate objects at the web
layer)... I have given that
a thought before (annotating the hibernate objects with validation
annotation). But that will tie up the
hibernate objects to Struts, wouldnt it? Might not be a problem if the user
of the object is just the webapp..


Anyway...just to clarify what you have there..:

1. Annotate the object with struts validation annotation. In my example,
something  like:

   public class Customer{


   @RequiredStringValidator(message = You must enter a value for username.)
 public String username;

  
   }

2. Annotate the Action class

@Validation
   public class CustomerAction {


   public ListCustomer customer = new ArrayListCustomer();

   @Validations (
  visitorFields = {
 @VisitorFieldValidator(fieldName = customer ,
message=, appendPrefix=true)
  }
)
   public String execute(){
}
   }


And hopefully if everything works right, the validation should work?
Not sure if I can eliminate the s:fieldErrors/ ... since I'm using
simple theme - my understanding is that with simple theme, I have to
specifically write the actionErrors  fieldErrors. Could be wrong though...
(I'm new to Struts 2).
Also... with your @Validations above.. if you specify message=, wouldnt
that create an extra empty error message? I experienced that before.

Thanks again, and I'll let you know how I go with this tomorrow.


Cheers.


WiB.

XWork, technically, but yes. The other issue (I think;
haven't explored it yet) is that you'd lose the
ability to validate differently based on the Action
method (which I need).

So I'm going to stick w/ the XML validation config,
because the visitor thing lets me specify a validation
context (like a method, I hope!) and currently my
Hibernate objects are being created from the mapping
XML files, so I can't do it via annotations anyway.

 And hopefully if everything works right, the
 validation should work?

Yep. I'm not entirely sure I understand the
appendPrefix attribute, since mine worked both with
and without it :/

 Not sure if I can eliminate the s:fieldErrors/ ...

Nope, I believe you are correct.

 with your @Validations above.. if you specify 
 message=, wouldnt that create an extra empty error

 message? I experienced that before.

AFAICT a visitor's message is prepended to the
validation message for the visited object; if you want
just the msg defined in your POJO then I think you
leave the visitor's message empty.

Re: Validation on java.util.List

[cilquirm]

I don't know if this helps, but when I validate a list or array , i use
OGNL's selection/projection facility :

i.e. :

customers.{ ? #this.age gt 0  and #this.username neq null }.size()  eq
customers.size

creates a list of all customers whose age is greater than zero and who have
a username and checks that it is the same as the incoming array ( i.e.
everyone has a username and an age ) 

For the second part,

in your Object's  -conversion.xml  file
declare the type information of the element, like so :

Element_customers = my.Customer

more info here :

   ListCustomer customers

 How can I enforce using struts validation (preferrably through annotation)
 so that:
 - both username and age are compulsory
 - age must be an integer
 
 
 Secondly, since age is of type int.. when user enter characters
 (numbers) in the textfield, they get converted to 0 (somehow).
 How can I prevent this?
 
 
 
 Thanks in advance!

Re: Validation Framework

[Mike Baroukh]

I'm still using struts 1.1 and your struts config/form is really 
different from what I used to do.

But, in struts 1.1, we had to add
validate=true
in the struts-config on the action ...

your struts-config doesn't have any.

Maybe ...

Dear Struts Users,
 
I'm relatively new to Struts and am trying to get the Validation Framework working without success. I've read several tutorials and articles on using it, but it just doesn't want to work. I'm using NetBeans 5.5, so that I can use Struts 1.2.9.

Having set everything, I get no error messages from the Sun Java Application 
Server 9, it just simply does not do any validation. It skips the validating my 
form and forwards me to the JSP page that should open only on successful 
validation.
I don't attach the sources, because the zip file is too big, but I share it 
with you:
 
http://www.inf.u-szeged.hu/~michnay/struts/SZTGKR.ZIP
 
My form should only validate a textarea html control.

Do I need to do any special settings in NetBeans or do I miss some settings?
 
Since it's been about 4 days I'm trying to get it working I'd be grateful if someone would please take a look at my form and my validation settings.
 
Thanks for your reply,

You neither set validate='true' on your Action (in the

nor call the form bean's 'validate' method (from, say,
your Action).

FWIW, it's usually sufficient to simply post the
relevent portions of the config and source files

project.

To answer your next question, you can either create an
action-mapping with validate=false to forward to the

call validate manually from within your Action based
on whether or not it's a GET or POST request (assuming

If it's not mentioned, you should point that out to the authors. I'm
sure they would want to know about any oversights.

 The other thing is that now, the validation error message DID show
 up, but it is displayed on destination-page that should only show
 up when the validation was successful.What I want to do is to show
 the same for until valid values are not entered and when all the
 necessary fields are filled with valid values, forward the user to
 the destination-page.

If validation actually fails, it should be redirecting the user to the
page mentioned in the input attribute of the action currently being
executed.

If validation has passes, but some other error has occurred, perhaps you
are handling that situation incorrectly in your code.

 Again, I'm missing some settings in my config files. You told me to
 use the validate() method but now it's completely removed because all
 the articles told me to remove it.

Right. Under most circumstances, you should set validate=true in your
action definition, and /not/ call form.validate() in your own action.
You /are/ free to call validation by hand, but it's generally more
convenient to allow Struts to handle the validate/fail/redirect logic
for you -- if only to simplify the code in your own actions.

 Did 1.5+ remove the 64K limitation?

The 64k is a limit for method bodies, not try/catch. It should still be
very much in force:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jvms/second_edition/html/ClassFile.doc.html#88659

I must admit that I've never heard of this try/catch too big problem
before.

Since the code and exceptions attributes of a method in a Java
.class file have the same limitations (64k), and the compiler checks the
try/catch limits before the code limits, then they really are the same
thing.

In either case, those limits are still in force (i.e. you cann't exceed
64k of code, try/catch or not).

This is one of those irritating issues that breaks down the facade that
JSP operates behind. JSP authors shouldn't have to worry about the
limitations of Java when authoring their pages, but they do :(

 There may be or may be no code added for the validation. But this
 is not the problem ...
 
 Technically, no, but it's the gating issue in this case.
 
 Try breaking up the JSP into dynamic includes (which will be easier
 to manage anyway, because 100 fields on a form is *way* too many, and
 must make editing/modifying a nightmare).

This might not help, depending in which type of include you use. Static
includes, for example, will just import the code from the included JSP,
solving nothing.

Simplifying the page is definitely a good idea, though. If you use a lot
of taglibs (such as emitting 100 form fields using Struts tags), you'll
get a lot of generated code, causing you to run out of space.

The validation is not the problem, though. If you removed validation
entirely, you'd still get this error.

Re: Validation framework question

[Mike Baroukh]

for Websphere, in a subdirectory of AppServer/temp/ you should find 
_*java or, at least _*class if it doesn't keep generated files.
There is a checkbox to check on the console to keep generated files but 
I never remember where ...

(I hate WebSphere !).


If you use the integrated instance of WebSphere in WSAD, I think there 
is a subfolder in eclipse/.plugins that is used for this ...

try again to search for _*class 

google with websphere keepgenerated returns a lot of results
(or WSAD keepgenerated ...)

Hi.

This is only a problem with javac and depending on wich java version you

jdk5 should not have the problem.
You may also try to use jikes for compiler.

There may be or may be no code added for the validation.
But this is not the problem ...

Chaudhary, Harsh a écrit :
  


I am having an arguement with a co-worker here and here is how it goes.

We have a JSP which has about 100 input fields. These fields have custom
validators on them. When we try to run the JSP, it throws an exception
something to the tune of Maximum try/catch size reached or something
like that. He says that this is because of the validations and when we
remove the validations, everything is fine.

I say that the validation framework has absolutely nothing to do with
the JSP's. It deals with the struts forms exclusively. So, the exception
could not have been because of the validators. He says that when the JSP
is compiled to a servlet, all the validation code is added to the
compiled version of the JSP, something I do not agree with.

Any inputs?

Thanks,
Harsh.

It appears you are probably using the ValidatorForm or

Just a thought ... could you just implement the validate method in the
Action form and handle it with logic? I did some looking, and see that
you can validate two fields against each other, but I couldn't find
anywhere to do if/else logic in the validation.xml file.

Possibly the Struts cookbook may have an example, but I don't have

I don't think you can do this without either a custom validator or as

I haven't used this, but looking at the last example in the

I would guess that validations specified through property accessor

RE: Validation Framework and DispatchAction

[Andy Foster]

Thanks Wendy,

Switching validation off in struts-config and invoking manually in each
method where required will work. This can be done as follows:

// validate
ActionMessages errors = form.validate(mapping,request);
if ( errors != null  !errors.isEmpty() ) 
{
saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.getInputForward();
}

This should solve my problem as each submitaction that requires validation
validates the same set of data. 

However this will not work if there are three methods create and update both
need to validate but each validate against a different set of parameters and
the third submitaction does not validate.

Regards

Andy

-MY Original Message-
Hi all,

This is probably a common question but have struggled to find an answer so
apologies if I have missed the obvious. Below is an example of issue:

I have a page that uses a single form to hold all the display data but can
perform the following multiple submit actions:

Create - create as a new object
Update - update the original

The page calls /process_object.do which is represented by a DispatchAction
that has a method for each submit action. This is simple to implement and is
all working fine.

I now turn to the validation framework I want to specify a rule to validate
the name to 3 characters only when the submitaction is create and this is my
problem. So the basic validation.xml entry is:

form name=/process_object
field property=name depends=minlength
arg0 key=name.heading/
arg1 key=${var:minlength} name=minlength
resource=false/
var
var-nameminlength/var-name

This validates at the action mapping level so in the above case it validates
on update as well as create. 

How do you validate just against the create submitaction of the
DispatchAction mapping?

Re: Validation Framework and DispatchAction

[Ed Griebel]

Use a page field in your form (set this in your action class before
you call form.validate()) and set page=x in your validation.xml
file. The example below shows using a HTML hidden field page, which
is a different way to set this page variable.

Thanks Wendy,

Switching validation off in struts-config and invoking manually in each
method where required will work. This can be done as follows:

// validate
ActionMessages errors = form.validate(mapping,request);
if ( errors != null  !errors.isEmpty() )
{
saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.getInputForward();
}

This should solve my problem as each submitaction that requires validation
validates the same set of data.

However this will not work if there are three methods create and update both
need to validate but each validate against a different set of parameters and
the third submitaction does not validate.

I would suggest turning off the automatic validation, and calling it
manually when needed.

Here's an article about it (though the motivation here is different):

-MY Original Message-
Hi all,

This is probably a common question but have struggled to find an answer so
apologies if I have missed the obvious. Below is an example of issue:

I have a page that uses a single form to hold all the display data but can
perform the following multiple submit actions:

Create - create as a new object
Update - update the original

The page calls /process_object.do which is represented by a DispatchAction
that has a method for each submit action. This is simple to implement and is
all working fine.

I now turn to the validation framework I want to specify a rule to validate
the name to 3 characters only when the submitaction is create and this is my
problem. So the basic validation.xml entry is:

form name=/process_object
field property=name depends=minlength
arg0 key=name.heading/
arg1 key=${var:minlength} name=minlength
resource=false/
var
var-nameminlength/var-name
var-value3/var-value
/var
/field
/form

This validates at the action mapping level so in the above case it validates
on update as well as create.

How do you validate just against the create submitaction of the
DispatchAction mapping?

Regards,

Andy Foster

To validate against a different set of parameters for each dispatched
method, consider how ValidatorForm and ValidatorActionForm work.
ValidatorForm keys off of the form name, while ValidatorActionForm
keys off the path.

You appear to already be using ValidatorActionForm, because you have
  form name=/process_object
instead of
  form name=formBeanName

If you want to invent a new way to map requests to validation rule
sets, I think all you need to do is subclass ValidatorForm and
override getValidationKey().  Try having it return the value of the
parameter you're using for method dispatching, then use that for the
form name=... in validation.xml.

Seems reasonable anyway... I haven't played with this in a while.

This regexp looks good. Have you checked the docs for the regexp engine
used by the validator (is it Jakarta-ORO?) to make sure that the syntax
you are using is correct? You may have to use [0-9][0-9][0-9] instead of
[0-9]{3}, for instance.

  var
var-namephoneMask/var-name
var-value${phoneFormatMask}/var-value
  /var

Have you tried putting the mask directly into the var-value element?
This would help you verify that your mask is working, even if your
configuration isn't 100% correct (i.e. the use of the 'constant' fields
might not be working).

Hope that helps,

Re: Validation rule writing

[Laurie Harper]

What Chris said, plus this:

  field property=areaCode depends=required, areaCodeMask ...

there's no validation rule named 'areaCodeMask' or 'phoneMask'; you want 
just 'mask' as the rule name. See the validator documentation for examples.


Also, is validation working at all for you? For example, is it correctly 
detecting errors for the properties you have marked with just the 
'required' rule? If not, start by figuring that out, then worry about 
getting your masks applied correctly.

Various samples and reading suggest that I should be able to create a mask

it can contain letters, be longer than 3. It's ignoring my regular

Am I missing something simple in how to setup and use the

Re: validation

[Nagraj Rao]

i guess changing the theme of the form/field would do the trick. Also u can 
go for your own template that over-rides the default ones given for 
rendering the error messages on your form. u can try theme=html on the 
field n form tags...

I assume the different validators set the property argument of
ActionErrors.add() differently.  Apparently the field validator sets it to
the field name (which allows it to be shown next to the field it's
associated with), where as the visitor validator us probably setting it to
GLOBAL_MESSAGE which gets shown at the top of the page.

The easiest way to do this is to turn off automatic validation in your

if ( errors != null  errors.size()  0 ) {

Re: Validation XMl entity

[Ed Griebel]

Struts validation is generally used only for validations of fields
from HTTP submissions, check out
http://struts.apache.org/1.x/faqs/validator.html

If you need to validate an XML file, you may be able to use the Apache
Digester classes (http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/digester/) or some
of the J2SE java XML libraries.

RE: Validation + multiple Submit buttons

[Andrew Martin]

This works perfectly, a simple action to check which submit button is clicked 
forwards the three pages without validation to appropriate location.
Actual Save button calls a commit action where validation is required.

Thanks for the help

Andrew

That would be one solution, but in my case I have 4 submit buttons,
two of which redirect the user to another action (keeping scope set to session)
and then back to the original form.

I do not want the validation to be carried out either of these two buttons but 
only on the SAVE submit button.
(if that make sense!)

 Within the struts configuration the validate is set to true for this

 certain fields are not empty.

What you want to do is to set your back button to be a cancel button.
This is done differently depending on which content-builder you are
using (JSP, Velocity, or whatever), but basically you have to end up
naming the button org.apache.struts.taglib.html.CANCEL, which
indicates to struts that validation should be skipped. (Note that struts
1.2.7 (?) and higher require you to set a property for each action
mapping that indicates that the action is cancellable).

Note that, even though the validation is skipped, the form bean being
used for validation is *still* filled with this non-validated data.

If you are using a multi-page form bean, this is ideal: the user goes
BACK, changes something on the previous page, and then when they come
forward, again, you can redisplay the information they already entered
into the form. Once they submit *that*, you perform the validation and
move on.

Of course, if you want BACK, NEXT, and CANCEL buttons on the page, then
you can't really use this solution.

That is actually not too far off what I have at the moment, except I currently

A JS free application? You can assume today's browsers have javascript, the web 
would break otherwise. Sure there are some cross platform issues but to go JS 
free is a tall order and will limit you to a clunky UI.

If JS free is your direction, you could wrap your back button in a html:form 
that posts to a different action to your save.

Hi,

I have just begun to add validation to my forms using struts validator, which 
is quite nice. I have however a problem when I have more than one submit button 
on a form.

For example I have a Save button and a Back button.
The Back button is also a submit (instead of a standard button - basically 
because we are creating a JS free applciation!)

Within the struts configuration the validate is set to true for this action 
with an input page defined.
The validation is set to check certain fields are not empty.

As both buttons call the same action the validation is called on both, but I do

Ideally I would like to configure this in the XML Struts-config.xml or 
validation.xml but I am not sure if this is actually possible (I fear the worst)

If anyone has any tips, much appreciated.

JS Free, clunky UI  you don't have to tell us! But those are the 
restrictions we are working on. 
It basically means additional actions/forms/JSP's when we want to do anything 
of consequence. Usability is a big issue, but we can't do anyting about it.

I don't think wrapping (nested) forms will actually work. certain form buttons 
are located in the middle of the 'main' form as they cater for a select option 
to another page.

You could turn off automatic validation in struts-config.xml and call
it manually in the action method when you need validation.

If you are using a recent version of Struts you can use
LookupDispatchAction that will call a given method based on which
button was pressed.

Re: Validation + multiple Submit buttons

[Mark Shifman]

Use a Cancel button 
http://struts.apache.org/1.x/struts-taglib/tlddoc/html/cancel.html

from javadoc
Renders an HTML input element of type submit. This tag is only valid 
when nested inside a form tag body. Pressing of this submit button 
causes the action servlet to bypass calling the associated form bean 
validate() method. The action is called normally.

I disagree. I think that JS is nice to use in order to improve the user
experience, but relying on it to work is a recipe for disaster. Even if
JS is available and enabled in the browser, sometimes things just don't
work properly (new patch to the JS library or whatever) and your site
stops cold.

I recommend using JS as an improvement, not as a requirement. Just my
perspective.

 If JS free is your direction, you could wrap your back button in a
 html:form that posts to a different action to your save.

That's not going to work, as the form can't have two targets. If you
wrap the button in another form, you'll have to use JS to copy the
values from one form to another.

Yup, just set up your validation as usual, then set validate=false on 
the action mapping and call the validation by hand:


  ActionMessages errors = form.validate();

That'll run the same validation machinery as Struts calls when validate 
is set to true.

Re: Validation problem

[Niall Pemberton]

Look at where you're directing the action to go to if an error occurs
- i.e. what have you specified as you're input for the action in
your struts-config.xml?

It looks like the error occured after validation failed and when it
tried to forward to whatever was specified in the input parameter.

Niall

P.S. Its always useful to post the version number of Struts you're using.

Re: Validation problem

[Li]

Hi, Niall,

Problem solved. That's cuz I was trying to forward to another customized
action. I had made this action as ForwardAction provided by Struts. It works
now. Thanks. Sorry I was a bit rush writing the previously email so that
forgot to put the version number.

Regards

Li

Look at where you're directing the action to go to if an error occurs
- i.e. what have you specified as you're input for the action in
your struts-config.xml?

It looks like the error occured after validation failed and when it
tried to forward to whatever was specified in the input parameter.

Niall

P.S. Its always useful to post the version number of Struts you're using.

Re: Validation with actions

[Chris Pratt]

Ummm... If you don't call html:javascript/ there won't be any client side
validation code inserted, so there won't be any client side validation
performed, IIRC.

Ok, sorry. If I use DynaValidationActionForm instead of DynaValidationForm
for creating my forms, what should I do in order to disable form
validation
in both sides: client (javascript) and server? I know how to bypass server
validation (using validate=false in the action tag) but I haven't been
able
to do the same in client side.

Thanks,

 I'm not sure what you mean by 'not taken into account the form
 associated to this action.' The way to get client-side validation is to
 include the html:javascript tag somewhere inside your html:form, and
   add an onsubmit handler to the form to call the generated Javascript
 code. See the html:javascript documentation [1] and the Validator
 Guide [2] for more info.

Re: Validation _without_ looking up keys in resource bundles

[Stuart Robertson]

Ah ha.  Found it.  Looks like the dev guys accounted for this.

You can see how in org.apache.struts.validator.Resources.

public static ActionMessage getActionMessage(Validator validator,
   HttpServletRequest request, ValidatorAction va, Field field) {
   Msg msg = field.getMessage(va.getName());

   if ((msg != null)  !msg.isResource()) {
   return new ActionMessage(msg.getKey(), false);
   }

So if you've configured your validation.xml field entry to indicate that the
message isn't a resource, Struts creates an ActionMessage which interprets
it as a literal value, not as a key into a resource bundle.

Certainly is nice to have the i18n option when you need it, but when you
know you don't, it's quite a bit of clutter to support.

Thanks!

Stu

Re: Validation on String[]

hi,
there is no such type : java.lang.String[], try to use List or ArrayList

Re: Validation on String[]

[Li]

have you tried java.util.ArrayList,

or

create an action form that extends ValidatorForm, which declare your List
object there

RE: Validation on String[]

[Strachan, Paul]

  form-property name=locations type=java.util.ArrayList/

field property=locationName indexedListProperty=locations 
depends=required
arg key=Location resource=false/
/field

in your action class:
 
ArrayList list = new ArrayList();
Location location = new Location();
location.setLocationName(A Location);
list.add(location);
dyForm.set(locations, list);
 
 
I'm not sure how to validate a simple array of strings (eg java.lang.String[]) 
as the property attribute is required by the validator.
