Wendy, I'm not getting something (and it's me being dense I'm sure).
It sounds to me like you've found yourself in a position where you are pushing the limits of the validation framework. What would be the problem with biting the bullet and implementing validate() in your ActionForm and calling super.validate(mapping, request) if it was appropriate to hit the xml file for the validation rules? -Joe -----Original Message----- From: Wendy Smoak [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 05, 2004 1:24 PM To: Struts Users Mailing List Subject: Validation help for same Form, multiple pages/tabs I'm using the same [dynamic] ActionForm on all my pages. Which was just *fine* until I wanted to use validation. :( I need separate validation per "tab" which is essentially a <forward> tag in struts-config. I have a Struts-Menu "tab" that has fields for fund, function and cost center, which are elements of an account, and I string the bits together later. Another tab has radio buttons where they pick an account. On the first, I need all three fields to be required. But if I do that in validation.xml, then the second page complains that the three fields are required. I understand what's happening, I just don't know the best way to fix it. I'm using 1.2.0, if there's something new that might be of use. I found this, advocating DynaValidatorActionForm http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg93220.html But it seems to be controlled by the path, which is going to be the same in both cases. -- Wendy Smoak Application Systems Analyst, Sr. ASU IA Information Resources Management --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
