Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Mahadevan Venkataraman]

Thanks for the replies.

Here is more info on the problem that I am having. 

I used the DynaValidatorForm in the form beans in
order not to explicitly code the form beans. Also, I
tried to do both client-side(javascript) and
server-side validations. The client side validation
worked. The javascript catches if I try to submit an
empty form. However, if I remove the client side
validation and have only the server-side validation,
the validation does'nt seem to occur . It is not
throwing the error back to the input page. Instead, it
starts performing the action as if the form is valid
eventhough it is empty.

Any help to solve this is highly appreciated.

Thanks

DynaValidatorForm, but in this suituation use of DynaValidatorForm fails

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Vishal Gaurav]

I guess that would work if you have validations corresponding to a
form i.eyou are extending DynaValidatorForm.

If you need to extend DynaValidatorActionForm, i.e give validations
corresponding to a action (as single form can be reused in different actions
and not all fields need to be validated in each case) then I feel you need a
call to validate.

Correct me if I'm wrong :-)

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Vasumathi]

 No mr.vishal i tried thats y im telling.
u try without using validate method in local form.
we have to mention the validation for each field in validation.xml file itself.
no need of calling validate() in local form.
definitely it will work.

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Vishal Gaurav]

You are right that there is no need to create a form bean if you are using
dyna form.

However if you want to link your form with the validation framework then you
do need to create a local form bean. This form bean would not have any
attributes and their getter and setter methods as they all are defined in
Struts config.

All it would contain is a validate method with a call to super.validate().
Please refer to the sample code in my last note for reference.

Vishal

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Vasumathi]

no need to create a Form class in local. if we are using DynaActionForm, then 
no need of create form class in local.
i tried in struts_config.xml only, it is working well.

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Vishal Gaurav]

Hi,

Simply having your dyna form bean of the type Dyna Validator form will not
work. You have to declare your form bean in the Struts Config as type any
local form bean you have. ( )

Then your ABCForm will extend DynaValidatorForm or DynaValidatorActionForm
depending on yor requirement.

It would have code similar to one given below

public class LoginForm  extends DynaValidatorActionForm{
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest
request) {

  ActionErrors errors = null;
  errors = super.validate(mapping, request);

  return errors;
  }
}

Hope this solves your problem.

Re: Validation with DynaValidatorForm not working - help

[Raghu Kanchustambham]

Assuming you want to do "form-based" validation, can you check if your
forms.ObjectTypeForm extends from one of the valid validationform objects?

If it extends a simple "ActionForm", validation will not work.

Raghu

Re: Validation Problem - very urgent please reply

[Raghu Kanchustambham]

The trick is to point the "input" variable in your struts-config.xml to the
action class that "generated" the JSP page rather than the JSP page itself.

 

On failure of validation, you should redirect it to the "preparation" action
class for the form that solicits information for you - the action class
where you would be populating the "arraylist" that you are using in the JSP.

Re: Validation Problem - very urgent please reply

[Vishal Gaurav]

Hi,

I feel that the approach given by Peter would be fine.

You might be populating the drop down by iterating a collection fetched from
Database. When you submit the form only the selected value is submitted from
the drop down not the entire collection (That is why you do not get the
collection back on page load after validation failure).

Ideal workaround is to iterate the entire collection again within the JSP
and submit the same as hidden.

If your collection is of some object having attributes like id and value
then you need to submit two separate collections one for each type of
attribute.

In this case you need to ensure that in your form bean if there is a
validation error you need to map the hidden collection back into the form
just the way you do it while loading the page from the action class. You
will need to iterate through both the collections and remake the collection
of objects from the same and set it into the appropriate form property.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Regards,
Vishal

RE: Validation Problem - very urgent please reply

[Meenakshi Singh]

Hi,

I would suggest that manually call validate and use Request Scope
Not many people seem to be using this approach, yet I have found it to be
the best overall solution.

This is how it works:
First of all make sure you do not have validate=”true” set in your action
mapping.You should call form.validate(..) manually.

Then create a method to set up your request with any lists in scope. For
example if you are using a DispatchAction you can simply have a private
setUp(..) method in this Action. If you are creating separate Action classes
for all of your different actions you might want to make this a separate
class, or put it in a base Action class that your Actions can extend from.
Now manually call your form’s validate method, and then, based on whether
ActionErrors return or not, you can decide what to do. If ActionErrors
returns null/empty then validation was successful and you can continue your
processing and forward on to success. If ActionErrors is not null/not empty,
you have validation errors and need to call the setUp method to repopulate
any lists then forward back to the JSP form.

I am pasting a sample code from an article from a website to implement the
above.
You can look at this sample code & then try to implement it at your end.


//class EmployeeDispatchAction

private void setUp( HttpServletRequest request ) {
Collection jobCodes = Service.getJobCodes();
request.setAttribute(“jobCodes”, jobCodes);
}

public ActionForward setUpForm(ActionMapping mapping, ...) throws
Exception {
setUp( request );
return (mapping.findForward(UIconstants.TO_FORM));
}

public ActionForward update(ActionMapping mapping, ...) throws Exception
{
ActionErrors errors = form.validate( mapping, request );
if ( errors != null && !errors.isEmpty ) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
setUp(request);
return (mapping.findForward(UIconstants.VALIDATION_FAILURE));
}
//Everything OK, continue on...
return (mapping.findForward(UIconstants.SUCCESS));
}


Give it a try!!!

Thanks & Regards,
Meenakshi.

PS: Let me know whether it worked for you or not.

RE: Validation Problem - very urgent please reply

[Peter . Zoche]

I had the same problem, and besides setting the form to session scope
you could do the following: Instead of storing your list of languages in
an ArrayList, store them in an array of Strings. Then on your jsp you
should be able to iterate over this list and sent all languages via the
html:hidden tag (that is why you have to use Strings, because they are sent
as Strings) with your request. So the languages are stored in your form with
every request, and when validation fails, you still have the languages
there.
The iteration should look something like this:





Hope that helps, perhaps you could reply when it works!

Dear friends,

I have a Add user jsp page and in my jsp page the user can select his 
language from a dropdown menu. I am generating it from the ArrayList

My problem is ,  when there is a validation error and control returns to 
the jsp page it is not able to find the languages collection, ie 
ArrayList. I know it is possible to solve by setting the form to

Hi, I changed the retrieveFormName method so it now lookes like this :

function retrieveFormName(form) {

var x;

if (form.getAttributeNode) {

if (form.getAttributeNode("id") &&
form.getAttributeNode("id").value) {

x = form.getAttributeNode("id").value;

} else {

x = form.getAttributeNode("name").value;

Re: Validation in ie5

[Niall Pemberton]

OK thx, I didn't notice the missing "return" - thats one bug then.

The only suggestion I can think of is to add a ";" in the eval expression
(after "mask()") - so something like...

replace..
   oMasked = eval('new ' + retrieveFormName(form) +  '_mask()');
with...
   oMasked = eval('new ' + retrieveFormName(form) +  '_mask();');

Whether that makes a difference in IE5 I'm only guessing in the dark.

Also can you find out whats on line 1361?

Re: Validation in ie5

[Niall Pemberton]

Kristian,

Could you please reply to the mailing lists rather than me directly, thx.

I applied a patch to Commons Validator 1.2.0 which resolved an IE5.5
issue

http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=37315

...and I was hoping that would resolve your issue.

The second error you mention looks like a similar problem - it doesn't seem
able to retrieve the name/id of the form bean - I'm guessing that by the
fact you say your getting 'undefined_mask' - looks like its returning
"undefined" instead of the form bean name.

One thing we did in Commons Validator 1.2.0 was refactor the logic to get
the form bean name to a common javascript function in the
validateUtilities.js script. What you could do is create a custom version of
the validateUtilities.js script that works for you in IE5 and then configure
struts to use your custom script (in the validator-rules.xml) rather than
the standard one shipped in the commons validator jar.

Unfortunately I do not have a copy of IE5, so I can't reproduce your error
and try/test solutions to it - so either yourself or someone else will need
to come up with something to resolve this. The first step is to debug the
javascript and find out exactly what is going wrong.

Re: Validation in ie5

[Niall Pemberton]

Saying "it doesn't work in ie5" doesn't really help alot - I don't have a
copy of ie5, so if you could specify the issue then it would be helpful.
Also what version of 1) Struts and 2) Commons Validator are you using? Can
you try upgrading to Commons Validator 1.2.0 and see if the issue still
occurs. Even if there is still a problem in Validator 1.2.0, depending on
the issue, there might be an easy workaround since there has been some
refactoring of the JavaScript in that version.

The Action  framework doesn't support browser detection

My question involves the validator plug-in entry in the config files.

Does the plugin entry need to be added to all config files, or just the

Just the default one. When you use multiple config files this way, 
they're effectively concatenated.

You can place server-side validation errors anywhere in the page you

Yes. I have extended the form bean to use ValidatorForm.

What was missing in all my search was the you have to specify the input 
attribute on the action element. The value of the input attribute is a URI to 
forward to if validation fails.

RE: Validation seemingly not getting called any longer

I think I found the explanation from Corey Probst back in March (11th, 2005)
on this list:

__ By adding a comma separated list of struts config
__ files, you are not specifying multiple *modules*,
__ just multiple config files.  ValidatorResources
__ are stored in the ServletContext after being read

** BINGO (that's my comment on the above) ***

__ by the plugin.  So, when struts-config-two is
__ read, it overwrites the info stored for
__ struts-config-one.
__
__ To specify multiple modules you need to declare in the
__ ActionServlet init params something like this...

David,

As far as the issue of timing, users, etc. this is a site in
development. So about 4 developers are working continuously on the
site
and so it's definitely something that happened as a result of a change
by another developer, but I can't put my finger on what it is. I don't
know when it occurred. It just doesn't validate right now. All jars
are
the same.

loginForm extends the ValidatorForm.

What else? I found the place where seemingly my one rule (I commented
the others out) gets loaded for the form...

DEBUG [main] (ValidatorResources.java:192) - Adding FormSet 'FormSet:
language=n
ull  country=null  variant=null
   Form: loginForm
Field:
key = username
property = username
indexedProperty = null
indexedListProperty = null
depends = required
page = 0
fieldOrder = 0
Vars:

Does that look right? This is what sets it up.

validation.xml








struts-config.xml


and later...






So I don't know what to do at this point. It all seems to be setup
right.

1. Did the problem occur after a web application server (Jetty,

running
uninterrupted?

2. Have you changed ANY jar files in the webapp or any class files?
Anything which could have caused a spontaneous webapp reload?  The log
files
in your container should indicate a shutdown/restart.

3. I see your action is listed (in a previous post) as with the form
name
"loginForm".  Does that form extend ValidatorActionForm?  And what is
your
struts-config.xml form-bean definition?

4. Are there any other developers for this site?

5. What are the file datestamps/timestamps on teh web.xml,
struts-config.xml, validation.xml, validator-rules.xml, etc.  Are they
recent (as in someone might have modified them before the last webapp
restart) or dated months ago (indicating no recent changes) ?

It's not configured in Validation.xml. The form is

I did turn up debugging on log4j.logger.org.apache.commons.validator

development. So about 4 developers are working continuously on the
site
and so it's definitely something that happened as a result of a change
by another developer, but I can't put my finger on what it is. I don't
know when it occurred. It just doesn't validate right now. All jars
are
the same.

loginForm extends the ValidatorForm.

What else? I found the place where seemingly my one rule (I commented
the others out) gets loaded for the form...

DEBUG [main] (ValidatorResources.java:192) - Adding FormSet 'FormSet:
language=n
ull  country=null  variant=null
   Form: loginForm
Field:
key = username
property = username
indexedProperty = null
indexedListProperty = null
depends = required
page = 0
fieldOrder = 0
Vars:

Does that look right? This is what sets it up.

validation.xml








struts-config.xml


and later...






So I don't know what to do at this point. It all seems to be setup
right.

Preston,

1. Did the problem occur after a web application server (Jetty,
Tomcat,
JBoss, etc.) shutdown/startup cycle or while the application was
running
uninterrupted?

2. Have you changed ANY jar files in the webapp or any class files?
Anything which could have caused a spontaneous webapp reload?  The log
files
in your container should indicate a shutdown/restart.

3. I see your action is listed (in a previous post) as with the form
name
"loginForm".  Does that form extend ValidatorActionForm?  And what is
your
struts-config.xml form-bean definition?

4. Are there any other developers for this site?

5. What are the file datestamps/timestamps on teh web.xml,
struts-config.xml, validation.xml, validator-rules.xml, etc.  Are they
recent (as in someone might have modified them before the last webapp
restart) or dated months ago (indicating no recent changes) ?

Regards,
David

RE: Validation seemingly not getting called any longer

[Preston CRAWFORD]

Solved it. Weird.

I rolled back to an old version to try to figure out what was
different. And the 1 thing that was different is that I'd created a
second struts config and second validation. So my web.xml turned into
this..

ourproject
   
org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet

config

/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml,
/WEB-INF/subproject/struts-config.xml,



And within that other struts-config.xml I had this


   


Apparently that was the wrong way to go about it, because the second
validator plugin call overrides the first.

Lesson learned.

What's in the log files at application startup?  Turn logging up to
'debug' and you should see the validation config files being used to
configure validation for each form.

If the config looks right and there's nothing interesting in the log
files, try stepping through the code in a debugger.  JSwat is my
favorite, though I'm still getting used to the new version (and need
to update the instructions...)

Re: Validation Question how to echo back users input in error message?

[Niall Pemberton]

Not from the request - from the form bean (or indexed Bean) - in this
example lineNumber needs to be a property of the indexed bean.

Are you saying that it will take a real lineNumber from request? How
does it know to get if from request? Does it just checks if request
has this key, and if not, goes to the property file?

Nothing that I can see. What could I log to find out what's going on? It

If not, I'd do a diff against the last working version from your

Re: Validation Question how to echo back users input in error message?

[Niall Pemberton]

The short answer is that there isn't a way to echo back user input in the
error message. Most of the time I don't think its necessary to do so
anyway - since if you're re-displaying/highlighting errors then what is the
need. The one time I scenario I wanted to do something like that, was when I
had a list, say for example you are displaying a list of orders and you want
a message along the lines "Order date for order number 1234 is invalid" -
where the order number "1234" is a value from the list.

There are two places that I know of, where this kind of functionality has
been provided. The first is in the "extends validator" I wrote (see the
"indexed example"):

   http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/strutsvalidatorextends.html

...and the other place was in the javascript validator extension I started
work on:

   http://www.niallp.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/validatorjs.html

Hopefully, one day I will find some time to work on validator to make these
kind of features standard - but for now theres nothing "out of the box" to
meet this requirement.

I would like to know the answer on this too. I searched the Net, all
examples use properties from property file. Using resource="false"
does not help with either (neither?) of these variants:






where registrationForm is action form definition in struts-config.xml,
nestedUser is a nested BO. Originating mail address is rendered in
HTML and submitted back to application as "nestedUser.fromAddress".

Commons Validator does not process HttpServletRequest (that is
expected). I glanced at ValidatorForm from Struts Validator
integration, and saw this validate() method:

public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
 HttpServletRequest request) {

  ServletContext application = getServlet().getServletContext();
  ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();

  String validationKey = getValidationKey(mapping, request);

  Validator validator = Resources.initValidator(validationKey,
this, application, request, errors, page);

  try {
validatorResults = validator.validate();
  } catch (ValidatorException e) {
log.error(e.getMessage(), e);
  }

  return errors;
}

So, maybe you want to debug this one.

Commons Validator basically does not have documentation, only
Javadocs, which is not very descriptive. No comments in the source,
either. This is frustrating.

Re: Validation and error messages in session

[Adam Hardy]

It's a shame no-one answered this. I was interested in reading a reply.

My situation is that on validation failure, my 'input' mapping is to 
another action, not direct to a JSP, so that I can carry out the 
necessary view helper code. As part of this I can also grab the 
validation errors from the request scope and save them in session if I want.


However I like the idea of declaring that the errors go straight into 
session scope.

Greetings, I'm using Struts 1.2.7 and noticed that functionality has 
been added to the Action class to store error messages in the session 
and subsequently be removed after they have been rendered. This is quite

I also know that error messages can be placed in the session or request 
scope when using the Exception handling framework. Again, this is quite 
helpful in some circumstances.


Are there plans to add this to the Validation framework as well such 
that we can declaratively identify the scope in which to place the 
validation messages. I know that upon a validation error that the 
default RequestProcessor forwards to a configured url and that since the 
request is forwarded, then there is no need to store them in the session.


I recently came upon a case where I have a page with conditionally 
"imported" page fragments. The page fragment contained an iframe with 
some dynamic text input fields. Upon a validation error in the iframe, 
it forwarded the request to its parent which subsequently rendered the 
page which subsequently and conditionally imported the page which was 
supposed to contain the validation error message. Since the import 
(c:import) was considered a separate request, the validation error 
messages was lost.


I ended up subclassing the ActionMapping class, adding a 
validationMessageScope property.
I also subclassed the RequestProcessor processValidate() and added logic 
to look for the subclassed ActionMapping class; if found to look up the 
scope into which to place the validation error messages. If the property 
had not been set, defaulted to the request scope.


So when ever I need to propogate the validation error message across 
requests, I just add a value="session"/> and the error messages is placed in the session.
Struts takes care of removing the error messages from the session after 
they have been rendered.


I know this is a special case. The only reason I ask is that Struts 
already supports the concept of storing the messages in the session and 
the current Exception Handling framework supports this concept. It 
didn't seem like too much of a stretch, to allow the Validation 
framework to support it.


Just a thought.

Re: Validation of input field requires SQL. Better to put it in Form or in Action?

[Jeff Beal]

In general, ActionForm validation is limited to the most basic input
validation, mostly making sure that incoming strings can be parsed
into a specific type.  If you need to issue a SQL query to ensure
valid data, that sounds like a business logic operation, and probably
makes more sense in the Action or even the business layer.

No more obsolete than Struts itself. Anyway, because I try to keep all
action-related stuff in the ActionForm, I never encountered the issue
of losing request-scoped objects. It seems a little strange to me,
that request-scoped objects are lost on forward, which happens on the
server.

Struts cannot decide whether the tags should or should not generate
client-side validation javascript in the JSP pages belonging to an
action, simply because Struts does not have the notion of a JSP page
"belonging" to a certain action class. Actions and pages are
interlaced in a chain fashion and generally you don't know which
action the data from a page will be submitted to.

Therefore client-side validation is set separately with
 tag on JSP page, while automatic server-side
validation is set with validate="true" in the action mapping
definition.

I don't think they are obsolete. I still find it easier to call validate 
manually. (By the way, in that article, I mention a technique that I 
really don't use myself.. I don't even bother calling the form's 
validate method. I actually provide my own validate() method in my 
Action that validates what I want. Both work ok though and since many 
already have a validate method in their ActionForm, I used that as the 
example for the lesson.)


As far as I understand, the best practice is calling the validate() method 
manually. 


If you have session based forms or you do not need to re-display 
non-ActionForm objects back on the page if validation fails, the 
standard validation framework is 'ok', but I still like to do do things 
one consistent way so doing my validation in my actions works for me. I 
will almost bet there will be a time when you'll run into some headaches 
trying to use the validation frameworks as it stands. (Validation in 
struts is not one of Struts' strong points unfortunately. It's one of 
the number one headaches for beginning struts users.)


This requires that we write ... validate="false" ... in the 
action-mapping definition. 


If I remember correctly, if you leave off the validate="false" it 
defaults to false. You just need to set it to true if you want 
validation, but I could be wrong there.. it's been a while:)


However, if we do this, we cannot use javascript 
(client-size) validation. I want to use javascript validation. What are the 
possible solutions? 


I never had too much luck with the client side validation stuff and I 
only use it in *very* limited circumstances, since I like validating on 
the server side.  The javascript validation with the validator seemed 
more of a headache then it was worth when I first started trying it out 
(I'm sure it's improved a lot since then, so it might work nicely for 
you). For client side validation I just write my own and don't rely on 
the validator stuff to handle it. Since I rarely validate on the client 
it's not much of an issue for me.

Re: Validation :: best practice?

[Niall Pemberton]

I think you're assertion is incorrect. including the  tag
on a page will generate all the javascript validations for a form - they get
"invoked" by you putting some javascript in the 's onsubmit
event - nothing to do with the validate setting in the struts config. All
the validate=false setting controls is server side validation.

Re: Validation Rules method not found

I just fixed this. You have mixed up the versions of the
validator-rules.xml and the struts jar. Either go back to struts jar
1.1 or upgrade the validator-rules.xml.

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?

Re: validation question...

[Wendy Smoak]

From: "Aleksandar Matijaca" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

I would like
to automatically place a little red * right beside the input field.
For my password confirmation field, wnen I put

beside the text field, I get the WHOLE STRING for the 'required' 
validation,

instead, I would like to display only a *.


The  tag might help...
http://struts.apache.org/userGuide/struts-logic.html#messagesPresent

There are also 'errorStyle' and 'errorStyleClass' on the  tags.  If 
you can do it in CSS, you can apply it to the form element _only_ when there 
is an error for that property.

You could add errorClassId on the input element and use CSS to insert an 
image of a little red *... :-) I can't think of a clean way to find out if 
an error exists for a particular property though. This might work (haven't 
tried it):

Re: Validation is called before form is populated from my database

[William Shief]

Finally, I found two valuable solutions to my problem.

The first one is MappingDispatchAction, as suggested
by Hubert. It is efficient but I dislike to have so
much entries in my struts-config (my application is
going big enough)
I found a good explanation for it by the frustrated
programmer (who gives us some remarks about Struts
which were helpful for me)
http://frustratedprogrammer.blogspot.com/2004/07/struts-121-mappingdispatchaction.html

The second one is to redefine the methode "validate"
in my form-bean (EditionPersonneForm, which extends
validator.ValidateForm) and add a condition in it,
which enables validation or not, according to my
dispatch parameter "do".
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request)
{
if (someCondition)
{ 
return new ActionErrors(); 
}

return super.validate(mapping, request);
}

Thanks again, Hubert !

Billy

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 ;-)

Another option is to switch to MappingDispatchAction* so you can set
different attributes for the different situations that your Action
needs to handle.

No, always respond to the user list when it's relevant to the question
you posted.  This way, other people can offer solutions as well, and
those having the same problems will get to hear/read what the solution
is.

Since you're extending DispatchAction, you probably should turn off
automatic validation and handle it yourself.  Search the archives for
discussion on automatic validation, it's been discussed a lot the past
few months.

Mail archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=struts-user and

Unfortunately EditerPersonneAction do extend
DispatchAction (using parameter "do") ! (Otherwise
your solution would be good)

Re: Validation is called before form is populated from my database

[Hubert Rabago]

It seems that you're trying to prepopulate a form with values from the
DB before showing it to the user.

So, you have
1) call /EditionPersonne to prepopulate the form
2) show EditerPersonne.jsp to display the form
3) submit the form to /SomePathLikeSubmitPersonne

If so, you don't need to specify the "form" attribute in
/EditionPersonne.  The "form" attribute identifies the input form for
that Action, to carry the data being submitted to that Action.

Try removing the "scope", "form" and "input" attributes to
/EditionPersonne, and specify them instead on the Action to which the
form will be submitted to.

On the other hand, if EditerPersonneAction extends a DispatchAction
class, send another message and we'll offer a different solution.

Re: Validation is called before form is populated from my database

[mah bub]

Hi,
 As much I know if you need to load data when the page is load before the 
validation is called.
 You may load data when the action is called and there could be another 
action associated with the Submit button's page which will check the 
validation.
 I'm not sure whether it make you clear or not or solve the problem you 
asked for. Let me know if you need more clear explanation about my 
procedure.
 Thanks
 Mahbub

Re: Validation Framework Manual

[James Mitchell]

You can always just memorize the DTD :)

On the other hand, you could pick up a good text editor with autocompletion 
that supports DTD/XML Schema.  Even after Eclipse WTP M4 shipped, I prefer 
XML Buddy, so much so that I went ahead and purchased the Pro license a few 
months back.

RE: Validation framework

[Nitish Kumar]

With no intentions to create yet another thread of "I dont like Validator
Framework". I just wanted to know if there was any way of using validation
framework to validate collections element, without writing
bean.collection[0].property for the property, as it might not be possible to
know the size of collection (else why would I use collection? )

To make it easier, a lot of times i have a collection of textboxes to be
populated with numbers, Is there any way of validating?

overriding validate() method of ActionForm, is not an option, as I am using
BeanValidatorForm. 


Thanks and Regards, 
Nitish Kumar

You have at least 3 choices:
1. client side validation i.e. to use javascript onSubmit to check such 
logic
2. write your own validator - see commons-validator for more info
3. validate it in the form.validate() metod
all 3 have +/- I recomend you the 3th method.

Instead of calling the return validateForm(this) function in the on submit, you could wrapper the check based on a _javascript_ variable.
<_javascript_>
var validate = true

don't validate

Set validation off in struts-config and call the Validate method from
within your Action:

if (yourForm.getAction().equals("action_to_validate")) {
  ActionErrors errors = form.validate(/*params*/);
  if (errors.isEmpty()) {
// all is good
  } else {
saveErrors(errors);
return mapping.findInputForward();
  }
}

Re: validation client-side. Problem with 2 submit buttons

[BHansard]

If you are using Validator, you can create a DynaForm.  then based on the action that you are calling, the validations can be different.  This will work for either client side or server side supposedly.  I have only used server side with it.

validation client-side. Problem with 2 submit buttons








Hello, 

Using struts validation framework, what's the best way to handle the
following case :

You have a simple form with 2 submit buttons. One for display, the
other to modify changes.
How to make the validation active only for modify button ? 
Server-side, you can simply have 2 actions name, one of them defined
as validate=true, the other as validate=false.
Is there a client-side equivalent ? 

Thanks a lot for any help.

review that... Do u know any samples about how to do that?..


Well typically I like to use the container managed connection pool. (If 
using Tomcat they have pretty simple docs on it.) The point is though to 
simply move that to another class. At the very least you'll want one 
other layer (typically a DAO layer) that takes care of doing your CRUD - 
-create,remove,update,delete stuff. This DAO layer is where you'd do the 
DB/JDBC stuff or if using something more slick like iBATIS/hibernate 
those call would do there also. So for an example updating an Employee


//In Action method:
execute(...) //or dispatchMethod update(..) {
  //cast to your ActionForm of String properties
  EmployeeActionForm eForm = (EmployeeActionForm)form;

  //business POJO with correct Data types
  EmployeeVO emp = new EmployeeVO();

  //easy to take the stuff from ActionForm to VO
  BeanUtils.copyProperties( emp, eForm );

  //Do the update
  yourEmployeeDAO.updateEmployee( emp );
}

I typically have one more layer before the dao, that I usually call a 
Service or Delegate (not using correct Design pattern terms I'm sure:) 
But anyway this way you can do several other business logic things and 
it even hides the dao part. So for example maybe besides doing an update 
to the DB you also needed to call an API to send out some e-mail 
notifications. This stuff I'd do in the service class...


//YourService
updateEmployee( EmployeeVO emp ) {
  //do the update
  yourDAO.updateEmployee( emp );
  //do some stuff or maybe some logic
  //like send out an email
}

//IN your Action it just changes from calling DAO to calling service
yourService.updateEmployee( emp );

If you take the above approach you'll keep your Actions pretty clean and 
easy to read and understand. Of course you might do some other stuff not 
shown the Action above like saving success messages, calling validation, 
saving some errors, some slight forwarding logic, etc. Point is to keep 
them clean though. If you aren't careful you'll end up with your Action 
classes doing too much business oriented tasks that can be better pushed 
off to another class.

Hi folks, I'm doing my validation for my form fields...
I use validation framework, so I don't use validate method in my form bean.
The problem I have is the validate is called when I use for first time the 
module. I mean, when I see for frst ime the HTML form, validation is 
called... Why???
When I set validate attribute to false in my action mapping, validation is 
not called...

I want the validation is called only when the user click on submit button.
Did u have the same problem???
My Action extend DispatchAction class.
Thanks in advance.

 

Use 2 actions - one that shows the form and one that submit it, and 
validate the form ONLY on the second action (set the "validate" 
attribute in struts-config.xml to false or true respectively) This is a 
very common pattern in Struts.
If you use a DispatchAction (or derived from) to show and submit the 
form, than you have 2 choices:
1. the suggested upper (add just a smal forward action when you want to 
show the form)
2. recognize which "method" of the action (view or submit) is called - 
you can find it in the reuest, passed to validate() - and then make the 
validation only in case of submit.

if ( errors != null && !errors.isEmpty ) <-- this part can probably be 
shortened, I was too lazy to figure out what really gets returned if 
validation passes.. a null or empty ActionErrors?




here is part of the code of RequestProcessor, so in both cases the form 
is considered valid

   ActionMessages errors = form.validate(mapping, request);
--->>>if ((errors == null) || errors.isEmpty()) {
   if (log.isTraceEnabled()) {
   log.trace("  No errors detected, accepting input");
   }
   return (true);
   }

Hmm... It should be called. Are you sure that your validate in the
form overrides validate(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest request) and not this one
ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping,
javax.servlet.ServletRequest request) ?

Put some debug output into your validate method as well before and
after your call to colorForm.validate(mapping,request), maybe this one
is not called.

Michael.
