I intentionally left every single field blank and
radio buttons not selected, and then submit the form
with validation check. All the errors pass through
the validation check and the next page gets displayed.
I have commons-validator.jar (6/29/2003) in the
AppName/WEB-INF/lib directory. And I have the
validation.xml and validator-rules.xml in my
AppName/WEB-INF directory.
I have a form like:
[CODE]
<html:form action="/message/SendMessage">
Message Type:
<input type="radio" name="msgtype"
value="regular">Regular E-Mail</input>
<input type="radio" name="msgtype"
value="wireless">Wireless Mail</input>
From:
<html:text property="sender" size="82"
maxlength="25" tabindex="1"/>
To:
<html:text property="receiver" size="82"
maxlength="25" tabindex="1"/>
*Subject:
<html:text property="messageTopic" size="82"
maxlength="100" tabindex="3"/>
*Priority:
<input type="radio" name="priority"
value="info">Information Only</input>
<input type="radio" name="priority"
value="priority">High Priority</input>
<input type="radio" name="priority"
value="action">Action Required</input>
*Distribution Restrictions:
<input type="radio" name="distribution"
value="ok">OK to Distribute</input>
<input type="radio" name="distribution"
value="no">No Re-distribution</input>
<input type="radio" name="distribution"
value="lawonly">Distribute ONLY to XXXXXX</input>
*Message:
<textarea name="messageBody" rows="15"
cols="62"></textarea>
<html:submit accesskey="S">Send</html:submit>
<html:submit accesskey="C">Clear</html:submit>
</html:form>
[/CODE]
My action mapping in the struts-config.xml looks like:
[CODE]
<action
path="/message/SendMessage"
type="org.dhsinfo.message.SendMessage"
name="messageForm"
scope="request"
validate="false"
input=".message.Form">
<forward
name="success"
path=".message.Confirmation"/>
</action>
[/CODE]
The messageForm in the <form-beans> element of the
struts-config.xml looks like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE struts-config PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Struts
Configuration 1.1//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/dtds/struts-config_1_1.dtd";>
[CODE]
<form-bean
name="messageForm"
type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm">
<form-property
name="msgtype"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="sender"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="receiver"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="messageTopic"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="priority"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="distribution"
type="java.lang.String"/>
<form-property
name="messageBody"
type="java.lang.String"/>
</form-bean>
[/CODE]
In the validation.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<!DOCTYPE form-validation PUBLIC
"-//Apache Software Foundation//DTD Commons
Validator Rules Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/dtds/validator_1_0.dtd";>
and, inside the <formset> element, I have:
[CODE]
<form name="messageForm">
<field
property="msgtype"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.type"/>
</field>
<field
property="sender"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.sender"/>
</field>
<field
property="receiver"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.receiver"/>
</field>
<field
property="messageTopic"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.topic"/>
</field>
<field
property="priority"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.priority"/>
</field>
<field
property="distribution"
depends="required">
<arg0
key="message.distribution.restriction"/>
</field>
<field
property="messageBody"
depends="required">
<arg0 key="message.body"/>
</field>
</form>
[/CODE]
