An easy way could be to use
<html:option key="please select" value=""/>
with the minLength validation, using your own custom error message:
in validation xml:
<field property="foo" depends="required, minlength">
<var><var-name>minlength</var-name><var-value>1</var-value></var>
<msg name="required" key="Please Select an option from the
dropdown" resource="false" />
<msg name="minlength" key="Please Select an option from the
dropdown" resource="false" />
</field>
If you're using a bundle for error messages, replace the message with
the key and drop the resource="false"

Subject: How to validate selects
Hi all,
i´m doing some selects like this:
<html:select property="foo">
<html:option key="please select" value="null"/>
<html:optionsCollection name="foo" property="bar"/>
</html:select>
Now, i have to validate, that the user has made his choice, which means
that the 'foo' property is notNull.
Does anyone have an idea how to realise this in struts ?
Thanks
