thanks Niall,I've had a look at the examples and I'm not sure they demonstrate what I need. The examples all seem to be simple boolean expressions e.g. <field property="address1" depends="validwhen"> <arg key="validWhenForm.address1" /> <var> <var-name>test</var-name> <var-value>( (*this* != null) or ( (address2 == null) and ( (city == null) and (zip == null) )))</var-value> </var> </field> I have a select (fieldB) that determines the type of fieldA. So the validation to operate on fieldA depends on the value of fieldB. <field property="fieldA" depends="validwhen,required"> <arg key="form.fieldA" /> <var> <var-name>test</var-name> <var-value> ((fieldB == 'java.lang.Integer') && validateInteger(fieldA)) || ((fieldB == 'java.lang.Float') && validateFloat(fieldA)) || ((fieldB == 'java.util.Date') && validateDate(fieldA)) etc.... </var> </field>
The above looks like JavaScript - because validwhen is server side only. Either way validwhen doesn't cater for doing different types of validation (e.g. integer, float etc) depending on a value.
is this possible? I'm thinking not, so a custom validation method is probably what I need.
Looks like it Niall
