Re: Question on Validation

[David Winterfeldt]

This isn't an issue with validating.  This is
formatting your view based on the ActionErrors object
generated by validation.

Struts nightly builds has logic:messagesPresent and
logic:messagesNotPresent jsp tags to control
formating.

The Struts Validator before the 1/14/2002 build posted
on 
http://home.earthlink.net/~dwinterfeldt have a
validator:messagesExist jsp tag.  Below are a couple
of examples.  The 'validator:messagesExist
property="lastName"' will evaluate the its body if
there is an error for the lastName property.

Messages Exist Tag
A simple logic tag that checks for an object in the
request attribute under the default or specified
message key. If there is an object, then the body of
the tag is evaluated. 
    <validator:messagesExist> 
       <ul> 
       <validator:messages id="message"> 
          <li><bean:write name="message"/></li> 
       </validator:messages> 
       </ul><hr> 
    </validator:messagesExist> 

    <validator:messagesExist property="lastName"> 
       <ul> 
       <validator:messages id="message"
property="lastName"> 
          <li><bean:write name="message"/></li> 
       </validator:messages> 
       </ul><hr> 
    </validator:messagesExist>
