Check out http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html
Under "Pluggable Validators" there is a section called "Multi Page Forms". I've not done this before, but I think this wizard-like functionality you are trying to build is built directly into Struts and the Validator.

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 > > Rúben Carvalho > > > > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
