Hi there,
am having a problem validating a form manually using the
DynaValidatorForm.validate() function. For some reason, when validation
is carried out this way it only seems to find errors in one of the form
fields - however, if I set the validate="true" property in the
struts-module-config.xml file, validation does seem to be carried out
properly, which suggests to me that I did not make a mistake in the
validation configuration. Since I want to use DispatchAction however, I
can't use validate="true", as I need to validate the form selectively
for one of the methods only.
I have tried using ValidatorLookupdispatchForm, but can't use it as
Struts 1.1 (which I am using) seems to have a bug with the set-property
tag in the module-config.xml file. Also tried latest version of Struts
(1.1, was using 1.1rc3) and of the validator (1.0, 1.02, latest nightly
build). My code is as follows - pretty straightforward:
<Action>
DynaValidatorForm thisForm = (DynaValidatorForm)form;
ActionErrors errors=thisForm.validate(mapping,request);
Integer var1= (Integer)thisForm.get("var1");
(... get more form vars...)
//if errors, back to form
if (!errors.isEmpty()) {
saveErrors(request, errors);
return mapping.getInputForward();
}
</Action>
<struts-module-config.xml>
<action input="/editUserDetails.vm" name="details_form"
path="/details"
scope="request"
parameter="method"
type="com.inc.modules.users.DetailsAction"
validate="false">
<!-- not working in struts 1.1
<set-property property="validateMethod(doEdit)" value="true"/>
<set-property property="validateMethod(viewEdit)" value="false"/>
<set-property property="validateMethod(viewDetails)" value="false"/>
-->
<forward name="view" path="/viewUserDetails.vm" redirect="false"/>
</action>
</struts-module-config.xml>
<validation-module.xml>
<form name="details_form">
<field
property="var1"
depends="required,integer">
<msg name="required" key="errors.required"/>
<arg0 name="required" key="forms.var1"/>
<msg name="integer" key="errors.integer"/>
<arg0 name="integer" key="forms.var1"/>
</field>
</form>
</validation-module.xml>
I have spent almost 2 days trying to figure ways of getting around this
- anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Elie
