See, even though you just want firstname dependent on lastname,
you could tie the requirement to more than one other field,
hence the array notation:
field[0], field-test[0], ... for the first conditional dependency.
field[1], field-test[1], ... for the first conditional dependency, etc.You only need firstname to be required if lastname is not null, but you still have to use the array notation.
You can ignore the indexedListProperty and field-indexed[n] for simple text fields.
So it would look something like:
<field property="firstName" depends="requiredif">
<arg0 key="myForm.firstName.errorname"/>
<var>
<var-name>field[0]</var-name>
<var-value>lastName</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>field-test[0]</var-name>
<var-value>NOTNULL</var-value>
</var>
</field>HTH,

Hi Jeff,
thank you but my problem is that I just don't understand the examples. I'm sure they are excellent but they do much more (as far I understand them) than I need.
Could you please write me which example is the best for me? When I look
to the example below I don't understand what field[0], field-indexed[0],
field-test[0] and indexedListProperty mean and it is for me difficult to
adopt something I don't understand.
<form name="dependentlistForm">
<field property="firstName" indexedListProperty="dependents" depends="requiredif"> <arg0 key="dependentlistForm.firstName.label"/> <var> <var-name>field[0]</var-name> <var-value>lastName</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-indexed[0]</var-name> <var-value>true</var-value> </var> <var> <var-name>field-test[0]</var-name> <var-value>NOTNULL</var-value> </var> </field>
...
</form>

There is a nice description of exactly what you want to do on the Struts web pages. Here's the link, see the bottom part of the page:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html
It even has the exact fields you want to check. (represents #2 below);
You will need to: 1. locate the struts-supplied validator-rules.xml 2. create your own validation.xml file containing the mapping of the rules (in your case, the "requiredif" rule) to the form elements (firstname, lastname) 3. reference these two files in your validator PlugIn which gets included in your struts-config.xml 4. provide an appropriate error message in your application resources bundle 5. add the appropriate <html:errors /> tag in the jsp that displays the form elements
HTH,

Thank you James,
I have read the documentation, and I'm sorry but I still don't
understand how to define the rule that a field for example "firstname"
is required if for example "lastname" is not empty.
Can somebody provide me an example please? I just don't understand the
examples in the documentation, they are just too complex.

Hi,
how can I define that a field is mandatory when an other is not empty but only in that case?
