Re: 1.1 rc1 -Validator: Conditionally required fields.

[Jeff Kyser]

That example throws a bit too much all at once for an intro
to the 'requiredif' rule. For making a simple validation such as
	'inputVia' - a radio button set with values of 'FILE_SELECT' and 
'MANUAL_INPUT'

	'file' - a formFile for uploading a file,

	'manualText' - a text area for inputting text

where you wanted the file to be required if the radio button was 
'FILE_SELECT'
and you wanted the manualText to be required if the radio button was 
'MANUAL_INPUT',
here's the validation.xml I ended up with. Its actually readable :)

           <field property="file.fileName" depends="requiredif">
                    <arg0 key="uploadForm.file.errorname"/>

                  <var-name>field[0]</var-name>

Subject: Re: 1.1 rc1 -Validator: Conditionally required fields.

Are there any other examples of using conditionally required fields 
for

the validator? I find the example here a bit confusing.
You're not the only one.  I still haven't figured it out although I
haven't
spent much time with it.  A committer (can't remember which one) has
developed an easier validation method for this kind of thing.  We 
should
be
adding it for 1.2.

http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html

Specifically the part:
<form-bean
    name="dependentlistForm"
    type="org.apache.struts.webapp.validator.forms.ValidatorForm">
    <form-property
        name="dependents"
        type="org.apache.struts.webapp.validator.Dependent[]"
        initial="{'','','','','','','','','','',''}"/>
    <form-property
        name="insureDependents"
        type="java.lang.Boolean"
        initial="false"/>
</form-bean>

'Where dependent is a bean that has properties lastName, firstName,
dob, coverageType'
Is 'dependent' referring to Dependent[] or dependentlistForm? If
Dependent[], I don't see this in the src. Or this something I need to
code? Thanks for any clarity you can offer.
