Martin, Thanks for your help. My problem was not displaying the bean. What I wanted to know is whether there is a way to validate the property of the Java Bean defined in the form bean.
How to define the validation rule for <input name="mybean.creationTime"> Source code. 1. Form Bean Definition, <form-bean name="myForm" type="org.apache.struts.validator.DynaValidatorForm "> <form-property name="mybean" type="com.mycompany.myproject.bean.MyBean"/> </form-bean> 2. Java Bean, *package* com.mycompany.myproject.bean; * * *import* java.io.Serializable; * * *import* java.sql.Timestamp; * * *import* org.apache.commons.lang.builder.EqualsBuilder; * * *import* org.apache.commons.lang.builder.HashCodeBuilder; * * *import* org.apache.commons.lang.builder.ToStringBuilder; *public* *abstract* *class* MyBean *implements* Serializable { * private* *long* interchangeId; * private* Timestamp creationTime; * private* String originatingChannel; * public* *long* getInterchangeId() { * return* *this*.interchangeId; } * public **void* setInterchangeId(*long* interchangeId) { * this*.interchangeId = interchangeId; } * public* Timestamp getCreationTime() { * return* *this*.creationTime; } * * * public* *void* setCreationTime(Timestamp creationTime) { * this*.creationTime = creationTime; } * public* String getOriginatingChannel() { * return* *this*.originatingChannel; } * public* *void* setOriginatingChannel(String originatingChannel) { * this*.originatingChannel = originatingChannel; } } 3. HTML Form <input name="mybean.creationTime" type="text" size="30" maxlength="30" value="25/10/2005"> <input name="mybean.originatingChannel" type="text" size="40" maxlength="40" value="originating channel1"> <input name="mybean.originatingChannelUserId" type="text" size="60" maxlength="60" value="originating_channel_userid1"> On 10/29/05, Martin Gainty <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Yujun- > You can reference locale specific strings with bean:message.. for > implementation details take a look at Rick Reumanns page > http://www.reumann.net/struts/lesson3/step9.do > and of course implementing locale specific strings dentified within > ApplicationResources.properties > (in your case it might be ApplicationResources_cn.properties file) ..I > encourage you to look at the english example at > http://www.reumann.net/struts/lesson3/step7.do > Kind Regards, > Martin- > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Laurie Harper" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <user@struts.apache.org> > Sent: Friday, October 28, 2005 8:28 PM > Subject: Re: Struts Validation Rule for Single Java Bean form-property > > > > Yujun Liang wrote: > >> Laurie, > >> > >> Thanks for the suggestion, just let you know I tried that and it seems > >> not working, thus I am not sure whether this can be enhanced by Struts > >> team since Java Bean inside Form Bean is a valid configuration and it > is > >> a very nice feature but there still something to imrprove. > >> > >> For example, it can't handle Locale and java.util.Date which I sent out > >> another seperate email and you replied as well.
