How much careless one can be!!!
The problem was with the form name in validation.xml (userListAdmin instead
of UserListAdmin)
:)

Subject: Problem using validator framework
I'm trying to use the validator framework. for client and server side
validations. I'm using Struts 1.1.
I have in my struts-config.xml
<form-beans>
<form-bean name="UserListAdmin" dynamic="true"
type="com.sample.forms.SampleDynaForm">
<form-property name="test" type="java.lang.String" />
</form-bean>
</form-beans>
<action path="/ModifyUserList"
type="com.sample.actions.UserListAdminAction" name="UserListAdmin"
scope="session">
<forward name="failure" path="/UserAdmin.jsp"/>
<forward name="success" path="/UserList.jsp" />
</action>
<plug-in className="org.apache.struts.validator.ValidatorPlugIn">
<set-property property="pathnames"
value="/WEB-INF/validator-rules.xml,/WEB-INF/validation.xml"/>
</plug-in>
a form which look like...
public class SampleDynaForm extends DynaValidatorForm
{
/**
* Constructor
*/
public SampleDynaForm()
{
super();
System.out.println("initiated a SampleDynaForm");
}
public void reset(ActionMapping mapping, HttpServletRequest request)
{
// Reset values are provided as samples only. Change as appropriate.
System.out.println("reset in SampleDynaForm");
}
public ActionErrors validate(
ActionMapping mapping,
HttpServletRequest request)
{
ActionErrors errors = super.validate(mapping, request);
System.out.println("errors after validation:"+errors.size());
if(errors == null)
{
errors = new ActionErrors();
}
System.out.println("errors returned:"+errors.size());
return errors;
}
}
an action class execute method which...
public ActionForward execute(
ActionMapping mapping,
ActionForm form,
HttpServletRequest request,
HttpServletResponse response)
throws Exception {
ActionErrors errors = new ActionErrors();
ActionForward forward = new ActionForward();
DynaActionForm theForm = (DynaActionForm) form;
// return value
try {
String testInput = (String)theForm.get("test");
System.out.println("testInput:"+testInput);
} catch (Exception e) {
// Report the error using the appropriate name and ID.
System.out.println("Exception:\n"+e.toString());
errors.add("action.error", new ActionError(e.toString()));
}
// If a message is required, save the specified key(s)
// into the request for use by the <struts:errors> tag.
for(Iterator iter=errors.get();iter.hasNext();)
{
System.out.println("errors:\n"+iter.next());
}
if(errors.isEmpty())
forward = mapping.findForward("success");
else
{
saveErrors(request, errors);
forward = mapping.findForward("failure");
}
// Finish with
return (forward);
}
validation.xml
<formset>
<form name="userListAdmin">
<field property="test" depends="required">
<arg0 key="label.test"></arg0>
</field>
</form>
</formset>
JSP page
<html:form action="/ModifyUserList" method="post" onsubmit="return
validateUserListAdmin(this)">
<html:errors/>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" border="0">
<tr> <td><html:text property="test" /></td> </tr>
<tr> <td><html:submit property="bSubmit" /></td>
</tr>
</tbody></table>
I've copied the validation-rules.xml from the one available with the
jakarta-struts-1.1.zip downloaded.
The problem is that it doesn't seem to be validating on server side at
all!!! I modified the validation-rule.xml javascript to return true always
in the javascript method so that it gives a prompt and still goes on to
submit the form. But once the form is submitted, looks like the validator
framework doesn't do anything!!!
Am I doing something wrong here!!!
Thanks in advance for any help
Nitesh
