Re: Validator cannot find message key

I see you're validating manually in the action. Have you tried doing it automatically with validate=true in the mapping?

I'm not saying you have to do it like that, but it should work that way. You should specify the input attribute in the mapping as well.

Hi Adam,

The problem happens to both client side (javascript) and serverside.
Below are the codes for each file:

Struts-config.xml:

<!-- form beans -->
<form-bean name="messageForm"
type="com.mmi.ratt.emailmanager.message.form.MessageForm" />

<!-- action mapping -->
<action
            attribute="messageForm"
            name="messageForm"
            path="/createMessageAction"
            scope="session"
            validate="false"
type="com.mmi.ratt.emailmanager.message.action.CreateMessageAction">
            <forward name="create_message_step_2"
path="/create_message_step2.jsp" />
            <forward name="input1" path="/create_message_step1.jsp" />
            <forward name="input2" path="/create_message_step2.jsp" />
        </action>


<!-- message resources -->
<message-resources parameter="ApplicationResources" />

CreateMessageAction.java:

                // -- validate user input
                ActionErrors errors = messageForm.validate(mapping,
request);

                if(errors != null)              
                        logger.debug("*** number of validation errors: "
+ errors.size());
                else
                        logger.debug("*** number of validation errors:
none");
                
                if (errors != null && !errors.isEmpty()) {
                        logger.debug("*** validation error saved");
        
                        saveErrors(request, errors);
                        if (messageForm.getPage() == 1)
                                return mapping.findForward("input" +
messageForm.getPage());

                        if (messageForm.getPage() == 2)
                                return mapping.findForward("input" +
messageForm.getPage());
                }
                // --

MessageForm.java:

public class MessageForm extends ValidatorForm implements Serializable {

...

BTW, I am able to see the messages when using <bean:message ../>, but
the validator just cannot find them, just says "null is required", the
validator is validating the required fields though.

Thanks,
Saul

Hi Saul,
to try to narrow this down a little, is the problem javascript or
server-side, or both?

One thing it might be is where you specified your
ApplicationResources.properties. It should be something like this in
struts-config.xml :

  <message-resources
    parameter="org.blacksail.ApplicationResources"
    factory="org.apache.struts.util.PropertyMessageResourcesFactory"
    null="true"/>

Perhaps it would help if we could see the relevant form-definition in
your struts-config as well.

Here is what's in the validation.xml file:

newmessage.label.zone=Distribution Zone
newmessage.label.audience=Target Audience

Paste the faulty part of your validation.xml file maybe we can see
some
strange things. I had a similar problem and it was only an error in
writing...

Hi,

I am using Struts Validator for validating a multi page form, some
how
the Validator cannot find the messages defined in the application
resources. I got the validation error messages like: null is
required.

I've defined arg0 in the validation.xml file, and the key of arg0
points

to a key in the application resource file. I verified that the
message

can be found through <bean:message>, but why not by the validator?
Any

ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks,

Saul
