You can't use booleans in the depends, but there can be dependencies setup between validation routines. You can make a method check pluggable validator and have required and other validator depend on it. Although the default configuration has everything depend on required so if required depends on something else, everything should work fine. Method would be checked first and then if it passes required would be next.
<validator name="method" classname="MyDispatchMethodChecker" method="validateDispatchMethod" methodParams="java.lang.Object,org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,org.apache.commons.validator.Field,org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" msg="errors.method"/> <validator name="required" classname="org.apache.struts.util.StrutsValidator" method="validateRequired" methodParams="java.lang.Object,org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,org.apache.commons.validator.Field,org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest" depends="method" msg="errors.required"/> David --- William W <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Is it possible ? > Use boolean in the "depends" property ? > > <field property="password" > depends="method OR required"> > <arg0 > key="typeForm.password.displayname"/> > <var> > <var-name>methodName</var-name> > <var-value>update</var-value> > </var> > </field> > > > >From: "William W" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >Reply-To: "Struts Users Mailing List" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: Re: Validator and DispatchAction > >Date: Thu, 13 Jun 2002 14:46:09 +0000 > > > > > >I think that if I use DispatchAction with > ValidatorActionForm I will have > >the same problem.
