RE: Validator::validate() reflection - null

[Kent Roylance]

Something to try.

In your struts-config.xml set validate="false", that seems to work better
for some reason.  Everything else looks good.

Hope this helps,

Kent

Subject: Validator::validate() reflection - null


Had I missed any step?
Been trying to implement David's Struts Validator for quite a while.

Every time I access a editmeter.jsp through an action which populate the
fields.
Tomcat 3.2.2 console show  "Validator::validate() reflection - null"
twice
Enter char in int field (to be validate) is saved as '0'. No validation
was done.
There was no other error message on browser or log file.

# 1  Got Struts_Validator-20010702.jar in WEB-INF/lib

# 2  Got jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar in WEB-INF/lib

# 3  Set this in web.xml
<servlet>
    <servlet-name>validator</servlet-name>

<servlet-class>com.wintecinc.struts.action.ValidatorServlet</servlet-class>

    <init-param>
      <param-name>config</param-name>
      <param-value>/WEB-INF/validation.xml</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <init-param>
      <param-name>debug</param-name>
      <param-value>2</param-value>
    </init-param>
    <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
  </servlet>
# 4  In struts-config.xml
 <action path="/editmetererror"
   type="sg.com.trek.mims5.meter.MeterAction"
   name="meterForm"
   input="editmeter.jsp"
   scope="request"
   validate="true">
  <forward name="success"  path="/editmeter.jsp"/>
 </action>

# 5 In addition to <global> setting in validation.xml
#    add a form and one to test
   <formset>
    <form name="meterForm">
     <field property="meter.meter1"
      depends="required,integer">
      <arg0 key="meterForm.integer.displayname"/>
     </field>
    </form>
   </formset>

# 6 In editmeter.jsp
<html:form action="/editmetererror" name="meterForm"
type="sg.com.trek.mims5.meter.MeterForm" focus="copierid"
onsubmit="return validateMeterForm(this);">
...
<td align="right" nowrap><bean:message key="meter.label.meter1"/>:</td>
<td align="left">&nbsp;<html:text name="meterForm"
property="meter.meter1" size="7" maxlength="7"/></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
...
<td align="right" colspan="2">&nbsp;<html:submit property="action"
value="Update"
onclick="bCancel=false;">ENTER</html:submit>&nbsp;<html:cancel
onclick="bCancel=true;javascript:window.close()"
value="Cancel">CANCEL</html:cancel></td>

# 7 In Meterform.java
import com.wintecinc.struts.action.ValidatorForm;

import sg.com.trek.mims5.business.Meter;

public final class MeterForm extends ValidatorForm implements
Serializable {

 private String action = "Edit";
 /**
  * Member variable declaration
  */
 private Meter meter = null;

 public Meter getMeter() {
  if ( meter == null) {
   meter = new Meter();
  }
  return meter;
 }
......

# 8 Getter and setter for field meter1 are in Meter bean


Any one help
