Hi, I am using struts 1.3.8 for my application. For validation I am using validator framework. In one of my pages my form is submitted either by submit button or changing the dropdown list value. "action" is the name of the property in the corresponding actionform which stores the submit button's value for example if the submit button's value is "Modify" then action property value is "Modify" and action property value is "null" if I submit the page using change in the dropdown list value. I am using validwhen to check if the action property is "Modify" as shown below,
<form name="EditUserForm"> <field property="firstName" depends="validwhen"> <var> <var-name>test</var-name> <var-value>((action != "Modify") or (*this* != null))</var-value> </var> <arg key="ApplicantInfoDisplayActionForm.firstName"/> </field> </form> My doubt is can I use two validations using the which will be called only when action != "modify". like I want to check whether the email address is in right format so I used <field property="emailAddress" depends="validwhen,email"> and rest of the code as shown above but it is checking for email format even if action is not equal to "Modify". By seeing the code it seems that validwhen it is taking different and email it is taking different. Then how can I use both. Can any one please help me whether I can use validwhen In this situation. If not validwhen how can I use the validator framework. -- Regards Viplav Kallepu -- Regards Viplav Kallepu
