RE: Validator Form and inheritance

[Charles . Gouin-Vallerand]

I was using the validation for other form and it's work fine. I just have
difficulty to validate field from a extend class. 
There is a snippet of my code :

The declaration in the 

<form name="editBottleForm">

      <field property="location"
        depends="required">
        <arg0 key="editBottleForm.location.displayName"/>
      </field>

</form>

The location field is came from the BottleForm that is the "parent" class of
the EditBottleForm

The declaration in the struts config :

<action path="/editBottle"
      name="editBottleForm"
      type="compbottle.actions.search.EditBottleAction"
      validate="true"
      input="tiles.search.editBottle">
      <forward name="auditTrail" path="tiles.search.auditTrail"/>
      <forward name="transactionAborted" path="tiles.transactionAborted"/>
    </action>

and finally a part of my code : 

public class EditBottleForm extends
    BottleForm {
        
        .....

} and 


public class BottleForm extends
    ValidatorForm {
        
        private String location;

        public void setLocation(String location) {
                this.location = location;
        }

        public String getLocation() {
                return location;
        }

        ...

}

I take it you are using the Validator plugin?

Do you have the xml files setup correctly? Is there a form-bean defined as
type AddBottleForm? Is this the type you specify in your action mapping?
Does validation.xml have the correct entry for AddBottleForm, according to
the name you gave it in struts-config.xml? Are all the fields of that form
defined in that section of validation.xml?

It might help if you post all the relevant code/xml portions.

Hi EveryBody,

      I'm trying to use some inheritance with ValidatorForm. But, when it's
time to validate some field from the father class in the child class, it
doesn't work. I know that i'm not clear but check this exemple you will
understand more :

        I got a BottleForm class that is extend ValidatorForm and I got two
other class (EditBottleForm and AddBottleForm) that extend BottleForm. When
I try to validate a "father" variable in one of my child class use, it look
like the child class do not know the presence of this "father" variable ( ex
: the location ).  The design look like this :

        BottleForm extend ValidatorForm { with location:String }
                EditBottleForm extend BottleForm { .... }
                AddBottleForm extend BottleForm { .... }

And I'm trying to validate the location in the case of the validation of the
AddBottleForm.

Someone can help me ? Thanks

p.s.: Sorry for my poor english :o)
