Good afternoon helpers,
I've started a new application using struts 1.1 and I'm having some problems with some
new concepts.
I want to use XML form validation (DynaValidatorForm) using validator-rules.xml and my
validaton.xml. Right now my application is working fine. Now I want to use different
validation rules for the same form, accross multiple JSPs. For example:
- TestForm is a DynaValidatorForm
String name
String address
- test1.jsp
I want to show one text box to fill the "name" property:
(...)
<html:text property="name" />
(...)
- test2.jsp
I want to show one text box to fill the "address" property:
(...)
<html:text property="address" />
(...)
- struts-config.xml
(...)
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="testForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property name="name" type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property name="address" type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
</form-beans>
(...)
- validaton.xml
(...)
<formset>
<form name="logonForm">
<field property="username" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.username"/>
</field>
<field property="address" depends="required">
<arg0 key="prompt.address"/>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
(...)
Now, I run http://localhost/app/test1.jsp and I fill in my "name" property. Then I
want my app to validate only the "name" property. Then I forward to test2.jsp, fill
the "address" property and now I want to validate only the "address" property. How can
I do this? The problem is, what identifies a rule in validation.xml is the form name.
I could define different names for my form in the struts-config.xml but imagine if I
had 10 JSPs for each form.
Thanks in advance
