Re: validator framework in my Action class
POI Website is here: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html The excel part is called HSSF (horrible spreadsheet format :-) http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/index.html I'm still on an older version of POI, so I'm not up to speed on any new features. However the version I use provides 2 mechanisms for reading excel - either by creating a big worksheet object or by using a "listener" to listen for specified record types. We chose the second mechanism, since it was faster and lighter than the first - although probably the first mechanism is easier to get started with. Haven't looked at the site in a long time, but from memory the quick guide was a good place to begin: http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/hssf/quick-guide.html Niall - Original Message - From: "Deepa Khetan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Struts Users Mailing List" Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 3:24 PM Subject: Re: validator framework in my Action class Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

RE: validator framework in my Action class
Hello, If you need to validate against Excel 'parameters', you'd better off validate using, as Niall suggested, Jakarta POI what you can do is to load your excel sheet using FileUpload, then use Jakarta pOI from there on..

As to validating an excel spreadsheet - typically validator is called with a "bean" (or form) full of data. If you are extracting/converting your excel data into some kind of bean - then looking at what the "validator" flavour ActionForms do should help you out.

Re: validator framework in my Action class
If you want to call the Validator then the easiest way to find out how is to look at the "validate" method of one of the "validator" flavour ActionForms - for example ValidatorForm. As to validating an excel spreadsheet - typically validator is called with a "bean" (or form) full of data. If you are extracting/converting your excel data into some kind of bean - then looking at what the "validator" flavour ActionForms do should help you out.
