I had some validation that was done in the validation.xml (required/minlenght etc) and
then I wanted to do some business rule validation that I could not do in the XML. When
I put the code into my form bean's validate() method, I got all of the business
validations, but none of my basic required/minlenght validations that were done in the
XML. Once I added a call to super.validate() it picked them up.
Here is part of the struts-config.xml:
<action
path="/rmaFormSubmit"
name="rmaForm"
type="com.lucent.portal.rma.RmaFormAction"
input="rmaFormDef"
scope="request"
parameter="submit"
validate="true">
<forward name="continue" path="rmaAckDef" />
</action>
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,
/WEB-INF/validation.xml,
/WEB-INF/classes/com/lucent/portal/rma/RmaValidation.xml" />
</plug-in>
The "rmaAckDef" as well as "rmaFormDef" are Tiles definations.
Here is part of RmaValidation.xml:
<formset>
<form name="rmaForm">
<field property="companyName" depends="required">
<arg0 key="label.companyName" />
</field>
<field property="firstName" depends="required">
<arg0 key="label.firstName" />
</field>
</formset>
For these validations I use the <html:javascript> tag in the form JSP to catch all
normal validations before submit.
Here is part of the RmaForm.java (extends ValidatorForm):
public ActionErrors validate(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
//
// Do validations from XML
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
//
// Extended validation checking
if(this.isDoa())
if(!checkDosOrderNumber())
errors.add("dosOrderNumber", new
ActionError("rma.errors.form.dosOrderNumber"));
return errors;
}
In order to get the validatios from RmaValidation.xml I had to put the call to
super.validate().

Devin,
can you please explain that a little further? The problem that Andrew
describes sounds familiar to me.
I started using struts1.1b with validator and everything worked fine, just
using a DynaValidatorForm.
But then when I introduced Tiles to my application the validation didn't
take place. Although the
ValidatorPlugIn was loaded and there was no Exception ( looking into the
logs). It's just that
it don't happen.
I don't know what you mean by putting a super.validate() as the first line
... because I just use
given validation-rules (required, minlength ...) and some
DynaValidatorForms.
Any help on that ;-?
Ralf
