I'm looking for a straightforward way to handle basic form validation. I downloaded the Struts Validator from Dave Winterfeldt and I really like the capabilities, but I'm wondering if anyone has a solution that is more generic? My big problem with the Validator design is the need for another xml file that I need to fill out for every form I want to validate.
Maybe I am missing something, but is there a way a) either using this tool, or b) with another validator - that I can validate a field at the tag level. For example, I'd like to write: <html:text property="firstName" size="30" maxlength="30" validate="required"/> -or- <html:text property="email" size="30" maxlength="30" validate="required, email"/> and not have to deal with a FORM-SPECIFIC xml file. Obviously, I'd have to detail what it meant to be "required" and what a valid "email" is. That seems to be done with the validator-rules.xml file. Why can't I access that directly? I might just go build this myself, but I was curious if it has already been done, or if I am missing something with the Struts Validator.
