Thanks Laurie.
Just curious.. should Struts ideally not "warn" me against this? When I
define that something needs to be validated and there is no validate method
or doesnt implement/declare the correct interface or class... it should have
cribbed and told me so. This reminds me of experiences programming in the
primitive typeless languages ! I dont know if this is technically
infeasible.. but if it is not.. then it should warn the developer of such
errors.
A similar error that happened with this validator framework worth recalling
at this stage is the error in locating validation.xml ... i accidentally
named my file as validations.xml (plural) and declared it as
validation.xmlin struts-config. And it took me a lot of effort to spot
the error. Can this
not be detected and reported to me by the validator f/w?
And I still need a little more help ... please help me validate indexed
properties. The following isn't working... :(
<field property="paymentDetails[0].amount" depends="required"/>
The form bean definitions, struts-config.xml have been posted in my last
mail. I added the above line to the validation.xml posted in my last mail.
Validations of other fields seem to work (after I followed your
suggestion).... but I cant get validation of these indexed properties to
work. Can you comment on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks much.
Best Regards,
Raghu
