Struts 2 version ? App Sever ?

You can implement your own logic how to handle validation using
ActionValidatorManager interface - there are two known implementations
- AnnotationActionValidatorManager (used by Struts 2) and
DefaultActionValidatorManager (used be XWork when running without
Struts 2).

If you want to implement your Manager, to enable it just add the line
below to your struts.xml



You can also try to debug your application and see what's going on in
AnnotationActionValidatorManager#loadFile()

Zero-config refers to an S2 plugin that allows XML-free (mostly) configuration 
and can sometimes affect the way things work--it's just one of the information 
points that can be handy.

Another thing I'll often try is running it with the default stack to see if the 
error persists. Time permitting I or someone else will take the fragments 
presented and do a quick sanity check; I didn't see anything immediately 
obvious, but I don't always see stuff just looking at stuff, either :)

Hey Dave,

Sorry - I didn't mean to be deliberately vague.  I'm kind of stumbling 
through this to help the team.  The real Struts "genius" of the bunch is 
wrapped up with other problems.  I was just trying to help.


If by "zero-config" you're referring to our network, that would be No.  
We're on a fairly standard DHCP/DNS local network here at the office.  
If you mean something else, then I'm afraid I'm blonde again.  :-)


I think I tried setting up a CustomerController-add-validation.xml, but 
I'll give it another try. 


Thanks for the feedback,
Dave

Yes, but you never actually said specifically what was or wasn't happening, so 
I had to guess.

  
Our main layout has a  tag that should get 
any reported validation, though.



Didn't know that either.

  

We're just not relying on the theme to insert that tag for us.



None of the default shipping themes would; the themes that show error messages 
put the messages inline with the form fields.

The first thing I'd try is creating a XxxController-add-validation.xml and see 
if that works, since you've defined an alias for the action class. (Where Xxx 
is whatever that controller class was called.)

Are you using zero-config?

We are using the "simple" theme primarily, but even if the page won't 
report errors shouldn't the action fail if it is validating and I give 
it bad data on purpose? We believe it's simply not executing the 
validation. Our main layout has a  tag that should get 
any reported validation, though. We're just not relying on the theme to 
insert that tag for us.

Is "workflow"? Do you know that *validation* doesn't occur, or that it just 
doesn't return to input on validation errors?

Without any further information it'll be tough to help.

I don't think you can do this without either a custom validator or as
Jim suggests, implementing it in the validate method of your form.

Have 2 radio buttons of ID and Name and an input field to enter criteria.


When the ID is selected the criteria the user entered should be numeric.
Should display the user with the appropriate message that only int
value is allowed.

When the Name is selected the criteria the user entered
should be alphanumeric. Should display appropriate message that only
alphanumeric values are allowed.

Tried the below it works great for the second option. Not sure how can I

RE: Validation help: One struts form, multiple actions

[Paul Benedict]

Are you using Struts 1.2.9? It contains EventDispatchAction
which allows your design to do both viewing of a form and processing
under one action mapping (or two, your choice).

As for the validation key, override the getValidationKey() of your
ValidatorForm or DynaValidatorForm. The string returned is the name
of the form to match in validation.xml


..


So if you're keeping track of what step you're on, you can choose
the validation to run when you execute the next action.

RE: Validation help: One struts form, multiple actions

[Chaudhary, Harsh]

What do you mean when you say "custom validation key"?

I am thinking about going with action chaining to solve this particular
one. Like have every form call an action e.g. Dispatch and then call
different actions to go with the page a user just came from e.g. if a
user came from clienta.jsp, a form submit calls Dispatch.do which
forwards to an action like clientaValidation.do which runs the
validations and then calls the next forward.

Terrible design but this is in response to a change in our codebase
which kind of messed things up a bit.

Chaudhary,

You need a custom validation key for each step in the process.
Override the form's validate() and create a key. Then you should
modify your validation.xml to run validations just for that step.

Yes, only put the fields you want into the validation rule.

Create another form with the name attribute set to the action of the
other place the form-bean is used. So

What you _mean_ to be asking is if I visit an action and don't want the
validation to run until the person _submits_ from that action, which was
the discussion of a minor thread late last week.

Personally, I _never_ use automatic validation and I _always_ submit
with a POST. This makes it trivial to divide my actions up into GET and
POST handlers. I only call validation on POSTs.

A few other options were also discussed.

RE: Validation help: One struts form, multiple actions

[Chaudhary, Harsh]

I have the action ClientA which is associated with e.g. clienta.jsp .
Action ClientA is also used in the validation.xml like:
 
 
 
   
 
 
 
   mask
   ${nameMask}
 
   
   
 
 

Here's my code again for my struts-config.xml:


 


The problem is that this validation runs when action ClientA is called.
I want this validation to be called when a user is navigating away from
the clienta.jsp, not when a user is coming to clienta.jsp by calling the
action ClientA.

It blows up in the sense that when I navigate away from clienta.jsp
using any other action, and considering that there are error in the
clienta.jsp page, it navigates away fine. But when I navigate back to
clienta.jsp from some other page, by calling the action ClientA,
validation runs and displays an error.

My question would be:

Is there a way in struts to partially validate the fields of a struts
form?


I hope I was clear in my explanation.

Harsh.

RE: Validation help: One struts form, multiple actions

[Chaudhary, Harsh]

I intentionally used /ClientA for my form name as I said, I have one
struts form but multiple actions using that same form. So while
validating, I want to validate only the fields associated with a
particular action e.g. for ClientA action, I want to validate only
fields for ClientA and same for ClientB i.e. I want to validate only
Client B fields for ClientB action. All the fields are using the same
struts form.

That is why I am using a ValidatorActionForm instead of a ValidatorForm.

RE: Validation help required

[Chaudhary, Harsh]

The fact that you are getting 2 messages makes sense as you are running
validation against both the fields. It does not matter if the arg key is
the same. That would just pick the same message from your properties
file twice.

You could try using the validWhen validator and accociating that
validation with only one of the fields. Also, instead of using an arg
element in validator.xml, use an msg element to specify whatever message
you want to specify.

Or you could write your own validator, which is a bit much in this case.
I have pretty much the same thing at work here and I just use validWhen.

Hi,

I am using struts 1.1

I have two textboxes (username, password).
My requirements is
- I need to display a standard error message when both the fields are
empty
or when either of the field is empty.
- I need to display a different error message when both the the fields
are
filled but username-pwd do not match.

In validation.xml I declared two field properties each for username and
password with the same msg key but the problem is that when the form is
submitted with both the fields empty then the same error msg appears
twice.
How to rectify this situation.

Any kind of help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.
Dinesh

Use Validate method instead Validator framework

Re: Validation Help

[Paul Goepfert]

I have a question.  I have decided to use the vaildation framework to do 
the validation in my web app.  I have created a validation.xml file, and 
a vaildator-rules.xml file.  I noticed in books about struts that I have 
there is a properties file associated with the vaildation.   Am I right? 
If so I add it to my struts-config file, right?

I'd suggest looking at Struts Validator [1] as a starting point. If that 
doesn't meet your needs, I'm sure other suggestions will follow ;-)

Validation Help On Large Dynamic List






Hello,

I am using the struts framework for a project, and I am seeking advice on 
the following situation. To preface where I am, we have used server side 
validation (validation.xml) throughout the full project and all is good. I 
understand simple field validation and the attributes of the 
validation.xml file.

But as with any project, here is my problem: I have a database query that 
returns hundreds of records. The way this works, is we display the user 
list of keys, and defualt values, and they can change the values to their 
liking. 

eg:
Field1 (then in a textfield they get something like [field 1 default 
value]
Field2 [field2 default value]
and so on and so on.

Here is how the actual code looks on the page.
Now what my original page builder did, was take the value and also placed 
it in a hidden field for some type of database update later on. Hope this 
makes sense .

Agricultural Implements  


Agricultural Tractors

Agricultural Tractors  [input]

But what is occuring is sometimes they remove the value and then there is no 
value. And I would like to validate this.
So my question is as follows:
If I have a database query with a lot of records that have rows like so:
key1 val1
key2 val2
key3 val3

How can I validate this for " name=origGprID751499 value?

I have been reading about indexed validation but do not seem to have a handle 
on it.

Can anyone give some assistance, or ideas? I did not want to do this in simple 
javascript, as the rest of the site is all server side with Messages.


Thanks
Scott

Re: [validation] Help with 'contains' validation

To ignore case, just convert the two Strings to uppercase before you 
test if one contains the other.

Hope I'm understanding the problem correctly . . .
