Hello,  I would like to know how an actionname-validation.xml is tied to the

Javascript is output.  I'm having trouble connecting the dots.  Any

[Struts 1.3] Validation question

[Lorenzo Carnevale]

My application user has to insert a monetary value for an invoice.
Can I use the v alidator to check the value to be greater than 0, but without 
specifying a max value?

RE: Advanced Struts 2 Validation Question...

[Shannon, Andrew]

I'd have to second that.  Writing validation in java code that is.
We've been creating a few different patterns to try and do this in an
intelligent manner, especially where we might need to go to the database
and get some data or rules or something.  I think one of the biggest
benefits about this is that we can unit test the heck out of it to our
satisfaction which alleviates the burden of working through all the
validation machinatinos in web-based integration tests as well as
trimming real people testing time which is important for the tight
budget on my current project.

Besides the expression help already provided, I'd add that personally I'd put 
this in the Java code rather than in the XML file.

It's probably just me, so take it with a grain of salt--as soon as anything

Re: Advanced Struts 2 Validation Question...

[Bill Harper]

Implement Valiadateable in your action and the Workflow interceptor will
call validate() before and action method  If your validate() method adds
ActionErrors then the messages go back to the input form.  You will also
need to configure / annotate an "input" result.  I can't remember off the
top of my head if you need to implement ValidationAware as well in order to
get the methods to add errors and messages.

Re: Advanced Struts 2 Validation Question...

[Néstor Boscán]

if you want javascript validation you will have to create your own theme and
own validation. You will have to create your own validator class and modify
the form-close-validation.ftl. This is what I've done in the past. Once you
figure out the details you start creating and reusing validators.

You can do it by hand though:


  

  


In addition, if you are using S2.1, then you have a basic error
handling. Each tag has an cssErrorClass and cssErrorStyle attributes
that are set when there is a validation error.

Re: simple vs xhtml theme, validation question

[Sébastien Domergue]

Hi,
you're right, simple theme don't allow you to use validation. In order 
to use validation with the simple theme you have to extend it or to 
modify xhtml theme in order not to build the table layout.
The templates sources are in struts jar and you can define others by 
adding them to struts.properties.
You also have the actionerror and actionmessage tags that can display 
those messages but they will be all displayed at the same place.

Struts Custom Validation Question

[Chandramouli P]

Hi,

I have the below scenario in our application.

Consider we have two radio buttons for two types of bank accounts, say Savings 
and Current, and based on the selection of each radio button we are 
enabling/disabling some fields for user input, which in turn, the properties of 
an ActionForm.

What my question is, when we select the first radio button and fills/clears the 
values and submitting the form only a set of validations to be performed and in 
the case of second radio button also we are doing the same thing. How can I 
implement a custom validation for this scenario? And also please note that the 
radio button is also a property of the ActionForm.

Thanks in Advance,
Chandra.

I don't think so. You see, with per alias or per method validation, you
can have multiple xml files for the same action with the filename
format : ActionName-alias-validation.xml

e.g.: 
if I have defined my action like this :

View1.jsp
View2.jsp
View3.jsp


I can per alias validation. As I'm using wildcards, it is as if I
defined CycleManagement!A action and CycleManagement!B action ...

So I can have :
CycleManagement-CycleManagement!A-validation.xml
CycleManagement-CycleManagement!B-validation.xml
CycleManagement-CycleManagement!C-validation.xml

I don't see how implementing Validatable allow me such a thing. I will
only have one Validate() method (without parameter) for my action class.

No ? Am I missing something ?

Firstly, thank you very much for your answer :)

Ok then... That what I though... But my problem is that Validate() is
called every time no ?
I mean, I currently use action like that :


View1.jsp
View2.jsp
View3.jsp


and I have per-method validation...
Is it possible with Validate() ? How can I do ? (I think it's possible
with ActionContext.(... get current method...))

Of course yes :-). But I need a validate() per method.

Rather than use the validation framework, I'd probably go with a
Validate method (by implementing Validatable).

Then, instead of using an OGNL expression, you can loop through the
list using Java, and call addFieldError if there's a problem.

Alternatively, a custom type converter that turned the nulls into
false booleans might work, or there might be another way to form the
OGNL expression. But given the choice between OGNL and Java, I'll take
Java. :)

Validation question

[Martin Braure de Calignon]

Hello,

I'm currently using struts2 for a project.
I want to validate all elements of a list (each elements should have a
non-empty value, or the list should be empty).

what I have done in my validator is :






error ${myList.size}



Then in console I have a warning, and the validator does not do what I
want.
WARN - Got result of null when trying to get Boolean
I don't know if it is related to my validator but it seems to be.

Any idea on how writing validator on all elements of the list ?

Thanks :-)

S2 Validation follows a "config-behind-class" model. You define a
validation file for the Action class (or other JavaBean) that needs to
be validated, and place it in the same package/folder. The validation
follows the class hierarchy, so that if a class is extended, the
subclass inherits the validator. There is also an alternative syntax
so that you can specify a validation for a particular method on an
Action class. The latter is helpful when you are passing several
"CRUD" methods through the same Aciton class, dispatch-style.

RE: Struts validation question

[hermod.opstvedt]

Hi

You also need to put in "... onSubmit="return validateValidationForm(this);" in 
your html:form tag.

Also: you should name your forms like: validationForm, not ValidationForm.

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?

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.

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

[Troy Bull]

I am using the struts validator and it works almost exactly the way I want.


Say I have a field tf and the value is "ABC"

I want to do a validation requiring it to be an integer and return the 
following error message: "tf must be an integer".


I can do all this pretty easily here is the code that does it:

in ApplicationResources.properties :

validation.error.acty.integer={0} must be an integer and "{1}" is not.

in validations.xml

 
   
   
   
 


my question is what do I put in ?? to get hte actual value the user 
entered to be echoed back out


so if I type in AAA into the acty field I want the error message to be:

ACTY must be an integer and "AAA" is not.

Re: Beans in Request and Validation Question

[Hubert Rabago]

The way I dealt with this was to point my "input" attribute to a setup
Action which would put the needed collection into request scope for
me.  But that's just one approach.  Another is to handle validation
yourself (which really is very easy).  This is the approach
recommended by http://www.reumann.net/struts/articles/request_lists.jsp.
 That page actually lists a few approaches, though I would shorten my
list to the last three (plus the setup input Action).

Beans in Request and Validation Question

[Jim Reynolds]

I have a question about using request scoped beans and validation with an
ActionForm.
 Here is a example:
In a certain action, I go and create a Collection of objects for a select
list. I put the Collection into the request, and forward to a JSP page, and
I show the list.
 From the JSP page, the user is required to select an item from the select
list, then hit submit. Here is where the issues come into play. From that
action I am validating the form in the bean. If the user forgot to select an
item, I create ActionError, stuff it into the ActionErrors object and send
back to my input which is the original jsp page with the select list, the
one they just submitted from.
 But of course, when it goes back to the jsp page, there is no collection to
build the select list, and I get errors. Up to now, I have been putting
those types of list into the session, but really feel there should be a
better way. Can anyone possibly guide me here to a better way to handle
this?

Re: validation question...

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

an error exists for a particular property though. This might work (haven't

I'm pretty sure it will go through all of the "depends" so that it can
display *all* of the validation errors.  Try it and see.

Automatic validation question...

[N G]

If I have set up validation as follows:


  

  test
  (radioButton = "firstNameSearch")var-value>



If "validwhen" failts, will it try to validate the "required"?

In other words, when using automatic validation, the validator goes
through the list in "depends" and quits as soon as something is not
valid or does it keep going?

Also, does my "validwhen" look right? I have different types of
searches on my form and depending on which search (radio button) the
user clicks, different fields are required. So, if the user clicks on
"First Name Search", the first name field will be required. Did I set
it up correctly?

Thanks,
NG.

RE: Request Processor validation Question

[Antony Joseph]

There is nothing special about processRoles(). It just returns true by 
default.You can overide it and implement whatever logic you want in it. It is 
not tied to any J2ee mechanism.

RE: Request Processor validation Question

[Scott Purcell]

If I use the processRoles(), does that mean I have to use the J2EE 
authentication mechanism for web applications? Using the container and declare 
the applications declaratively?

I am using a database with form-based authentication and just want to find out 
whether the user is logged in, and if so he can keep working, else if he is not 
logged in and is trying to access a page that requires he be logged in, then 
take him to the front door.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,
Check the javadocs for the RequestProcessor. Any method which has an 
ActionMapping as an argument can be used to figure out the action (ex: 
mapping.getPath()). If you plan to do authorization the method processRoles() 
is a good candidate to be overriden.

Request Processor validation Question

[Scott Purcell]

Hello,
I have extended the RequestProcessor and I am looking for a way to find out 
where the page is going to. The reason for this is as follows. I am giving each 
user a UserObject when they hit the site. Later on, after they log in, I set 
some flags to know they are valid inside the application. I am just using a 
boolean "isLoggedIn". Anyway I need a way to find out which Action they are 
heading to and put some logic in my extended RequestProcessor class, that could 
check which Action and send them to the login, if an action they want to use is 
past the login page. 
 
If I know the action and they are just logging in, I will not show them a 
"session expired" flag. But if they are heading for an inside page (a page they 
need to be logged in for), and the object says "not logged in" then of course, 
I want to take them to the front door and show a msg stating "session expired.".
 
I have gone through the RequestProcessor docs, but do not see anyway to get the 
action.?
 
Any ideas.
 
Thanks,
Scott

to the error message such that

errors.email={0} is an invalid e-mail address.
gets generated as
  "someIncorrectEmailAddr" is an invalid e-mail address

Date Validation question

[Manisha Sathe]

I am having From date - in the form of 3 separate lists for - Day, Month, Year. 
Similarly i have To date.
 
Using struts validator framework,
 
1)Firstly i want to validate whether the combined entries (day, month, year) is 
a valid date  or not
2)Secondly whether first date > to date
 
I tried to search in archive but seems no serach function is available. I am 
sure this is very common validation and can be done with struts validator. Can 
anybody guide me pls ?
 
regards
Manisha

That's top of my head ... and my head is tired :-( but maybe it's
helpful.  You need to separate the repeating things from the
non-repeating things, and allow the two of them to be chained multiple
times.  Having such complete validation of a name seems error-prone at

likely to wind up turning down someone's correct name as invalid

Re: Struts Form Validation Question

[Eddie Bush]

That doesn't address the issue of having multiple - and ' characters
together.  Plus, it will only allow two-section names.  Regular
expressions are fantastic, if you can find one to suit your needs.  It
can often be difficult to arrive at an apropriate expression though
:-(  Power brings complexity ... who'da thunk it.

That's top of my head ... and my head is tired :-( but maybe it's
helpful.  You need to separate the repeating things from the
non-repeating things, and allow the two of them to be chained multiple
times.  Having such complete validation of a name seems error-prone at
best though, since names can take on such diverse forms.  You're
likely to wind up turning down someone's correct name as invalid
because your pattern doesn't fit their name.  I don't know about you,
but if you turned my name down as invalid, and I entered it correctly,
it would aggravate me :-)

You can do it both ways.

Use validation.xml, but ALSO define your own validate() that checks the
"should I validate property".

All you have to do to get the validation framework to do it's thing is to
call super.vallidate() in your own validate() method.

Joe, do u mean checking the field with "validwhen" using validation.xml or
implement the actionForm.validate() ?
I really want to use the basic struts validation framework instead of
implementing validate() function to minimize the maintainence cost.

Uhm ... don't think so.  You could have a simple forward setup for the 
initial display of the form.  Then, have your actual "meat and potatoes" 
action.  That's two actions alright, but you only need to code one of them 
...

Realize, when many say "an action", they mean an entry in the XML file. 
Sounds to me like you're thinking two seperate classes.

Yep.  ... but you wouldn't have to have the extra action mapping.

Nope.  Perhaps in time the Validation framework will evolve to be smart 
enough that it "knows" (or can) that it doesn't need to validate the form on 
the first display.  I'm actually kind of surprised this behavior hasn't been 
added in by now.  Seems it would be simple enough to do, but, perhaps I'm

2) Turn validation off, and handle that in the action:
login.do

In practice, it's rare that you actually have a webapp where every 
single page is sometimes accessed as the result of a form submission 
and sometimes as a simple HTTP GET.  And especially unlikely that you 
would have this to the scope where the actual dual maintenance is a 
serious burden.  At least, in my experience, this is simply "the

On the other hand, if you actually have this situation, you don't

your forms submit a hidden field, and have your validation method

not going to be defined.

Re: validation question

[Yves Sy]

Hi,

Struts doesn't have anything like that.

IMHO, I also think that using validator on the login page is not good
practice as it would give malicious users a good idea on how your app
handles authentication.

Usually, you'd just return a generic error message such as
"Username/password invalid" whenever login fails (or in your case, the
user directly types /login.do in the browser). Try not to give out any
information as much as possible.

Regards,
-Yves-

validation question

[Justy Wong]

Hi,

I have a http://localhost:8080/login.do action and I want to do validation for the 
form when user submit their username & password. 

here is my setting in validation.xml:








mask
^[0-9a-zA-Z]*$




The validation works fine however, when I just type the http://localhost:8080/login.do 
in my browser (no submit), the validation error will show up at once.
I understand that it's just like I submit a form to login.do action without any 
parameter.
My question is, do struts provide any simple method to avoid this and just show no 
error message? Thanks a lot!!!

validation question (message resources)

[Hengge Joachim]

Hi All,

i'm trying to set up automatic validation (required validator), everything is working, 
except the key lookup in the message resources. Every time i submit my form i get a 
'null is required' instead of the textfield label.
I double-checked the settings about a thousand times, searched the web and the list 
archive, but couldn't located my failure. I hope you can help me, because i spent way 
too much time, trying to solve this little problem.

My settings:

struts-config.xml:
--
...







...

validation.xml:
---
...






...

ApplicationResources.properties:
-
# -- standard errors --
errors.header=
errors.prefix=
errors.suffix=
errors.footer=

#-- validation errors
errors.required={0} is required

# -- display names
addGroupDealer.groupDealerID=Group Dealer ID

Thanks in advance
