conditional validation in validation.xml

["Gregory F. March" <ma...@gfm.net>]

I'm using a DynaValidatorForm with validation rules in
validation.xml.  My form is a multipage form, and I (obviously) would
like to validate only the parameters "in scope" for the current page.

Can this be done through the xml file (if so, how)?  Or do I need to
write my own validation class that looks at a "page" variable?

Thanks!

/greg

The Validator has some concept with the page attribute.  If you look at the
"Multi Page Form" section you get a hint at it:
http://jakarta.apache.org/struts/userGuide/dev_validator.html


In your jsp you need an element called page.  I usually just put a static
hidden tag:
<html:hidden property="page" value="2"/>

Then in your validation.xml you associated a page number with the element:
<field property="user.firstName" depends="required" page="2"/>

So what the validator does is only validate the field if the page attribute
is >=.

So for this example above... The "user.firstName" field would NOT be
validated on page 1, but would be validated on page 2, page 3, etc.
