Hi everyone,
For some sort of reason, I'm using Struts version 1.1b2. I have a search
screen where the user can search using some date fields. I put the
following field declaration in my validations.xml file
<field property="endDate" depends="date">
<arg0 key="forms.project.endDate"/>
<var>
<var-name>datePattern</var-name>
<var-value>${dateFormat}</var-value>
</var>
</field>
The date validator is declared as follows in my validator-rules.xml
(without the JavaScript)
<validator name="date"
classname="org.apache.struts.util.StrutsValidator"
method="validateDate"
methodParams="java.lang.Object,
org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorAction,
org.apache.commons.validator.Field,
org.apache.struts.action.ActionErrors,
javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest"
depends="required"
msg="errors.date"
jsFunctionName="DateValidations">
Although the validator declares that it depends on required, so (as far
as I understand) that means it should not be triggered if the value is
null or blank. Nevertheless, it is, and it shows the error that the date
is invalid. I checked the source for the class that performs the
validation, and obviously it adds the error to the errors collection if
the value is null or blank. But I think it's not supposed to even get
called, because in the declaration of the validator, it says it depends
on required.
Is this a bug in this old version, or am I doing something wrong?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Tarek Nabil
