I've got validation working fine for the login page that users see when
they first hit my webapp, but it doesn't work for a change password
form later on in the webapp and I don't have a clue why.
I'm using the latest nightly of struts on tomcat on solaris (not that that
seems to matter much)
Relevant info:
struts-config
------------
bean declarations:
<form-bean name="logonForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="uname" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="pass" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
<form-bean name="changePasswordForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="old" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="new1" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="new2" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
action maps:
// the form that works
<action path="/logon" type="actions.LogonAction"
name="logonForm" scope="request" validate="true"
input="/logonForward.do" >
<forward name="success" redirect="true" path="/secure/summaryPage.do"/>
</action>
// the form that doesn't
<action path="/secure/util/changePasswordSubmit"
type="org.apache.struts.scaffold.ProcessAction"
parameter="collab.beans.secure.util.ChangePassword"
input="/secure/util/changePassword.do"
name="changePasswordForm" scope="request" validate="true" >
<forward name="success" path="/secure/summaryPage.do" />
<forward name="failure" path="/secure/util/changePassword.do" />
</action>
------------
validation.xml (trimmed to only show one field per form):
--------------
<form name="logonForm">
<field property="uname"
depends="minlength,maxlength">
<arg0 key="loginpage.usernameprompt"/>
<arg1 key="${var:minlength}" name="minlength"
resource="false"/>
<arg2 key="${var:maxlength}" name="maxlength"
resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>16</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name>
<var-value>1</var-value>
</var>
</field>
</form>
<!-- add more forms here -->
<form name="changePasswordForm">
<field property="old"
depends="minlength,maxlength" >
<arg0 key="changePassword.oldText"/>
<arg1 key="${var:minlength}" name="minlength"
resource="false"/>
<arg2 key="${var:maxlength}" name="maxlength"
resource="false"/>
<var>
<var-name>maxlength</var-name>
<var-value>16</var-value>
</var>
<var>
<var-name>minlength</var-name>
<var-value>1</var-value>
</var>
</field>
--------------
Since validation occurs before the Action bean is called, scaffolding
shouldn't be getting in the way. Other than that, I'm just not seeing
what the problem could be. It works for logon, but not for
changePassword.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,
Kirby
